Our Values
Troop 479 has a robust set of values that we teach and follow. As a troop, we follow the Scout Law, Scout Oath, and Outdoor Code. These three things give scouts the wisdom necessary to be successful.
The Scout Law teaches a scout to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
The Scout oath teaches a scout to do his duty to god and country, put others before themself, and keep their body, mind, and morals straight.
The Outdoor Code teaches a scout to be clean and considerate in the outdoors, and conservation-minded.
"How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver."
-Proverbs 16:16
