» Welcome!

Troop 200 has been chartered by St. Luke’s United Methodist Church since 1982. Troop 200 is part of the Chesapeake Bay District of the Colonial Virginia Council and subscribes fully to the Rules and Regulations of the National Council and the Colonial Virginia Council of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).

Troop 200 has a tradition of providing a full Scouting experience, including regular troop and patrol meetings with a robust advancement program, well-rounded outdoor program including weekend tent camping about 10 months each year, high adventure opportunities, and service projects to the community. Past outdoor activities include snow skiing, backpacking,  canoeing, boating, rock climbing/ rappelling, cycling, caving, and much more! The troop strives to provide motivated Scouts with plenty of opportunities to attain the First Class rank within a year or so of joining, while providing the older Scouts opportunities to obtain merit badges, participate in service projects, and experience high adventure activities. Troop 200 has been very successful in providing our Scouts the opportunity to achieve Scouting’s greatest honor, the rank of Eagle Scout.

Scoutmaster's Minute

Winter 2009

Scouts,
    
Time does fly by when you’re having fun!  Quantico backpacking, Pipsico Thanksgiving in the Woods, and Holiday Party are all behind us and we’ve got a great Timberline Ski Trip ahead of us.  Just think, it’s almost time for Troop elections again.
    
We’ve covered many issues and ideals and visions over the years in my quarterly SM Minutes and hopefully some have hit home with you.  I know writing them makes me reflect on things I should focus on – you’re never too old to learn from ANYONE. . .even the youngest scout has taught me valuable lessons in the Scout Oath & Scout Law!
    
I wanted to chat with you a bit on “Success”.  I can’t take credit for all of the words that follow, but when I see something good. . .I “borrow” it, so here it goes!
    
The key to success is not WHAT you do, it’s how you FEEL about what you are doing.  It’s always possible to take a very simple idea and create a huge success!  Naturally, we think scouters who are successful are smarter, work harder, are more endowed, have more support, have more free time, etc, etc.  What we cannot see and do not measure is their attitude about what they do.
    
Success begins with a positive attitude.  It is THE most valuable asset we own.  The people at the top did not fall there.  They were willing to do whatever it took, taking the ups & downs, asking for what they really wanted . . .and staying focused until they got it!
    
Success is not bought or inherited.  It is a product of what we put out.  Success begins with a good feeling about where we are and what we are doing. . .and a positive attitude about where we want to be.
    
So how are you going to be successful in 2010 and the new decade?  Do you enjoy scouting and the positive environment it creates?  Do you want to have fun on campouts and learn new things during service projects?  Do you want to be a First Class scout?  Do you want to achieve the rank of Eagle scout?  Would you like your parents to join you in your efforts?
    
If you answered YES to any of those questions, the adult leaders in T200 and I are willing to help you be SUCCESSFUL!
Yours in Scouting
Mr. Joe
