Welcome to Troop 12


Boy Scout Troop 12 in Appleton, Wisconsin, was originally chartered in 1930, and remained in existence until 2002.

In the spring of 2010, a group of Scouts and adults came together with a common goal: 


To revive Appleton's Troop 12... on the 80th anniversary of the Troop's founding, and the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouting!


Our Troop has been busy this summer voting on outings, electing Troop leaders, setting up the website, and deciding on new patrol names. For more information on Troop 12, please email our Scoutmaster at  troop12appleton@gmail.com  

And for some inspiration, read The First Scouts article on the left side of this page.

We thank you for your interest, and look forward to building a terrific program with the boys... for the boys!!
 

 




Troop 12 - Out of the Ashes, We Rise!

Providing A Compass For Life




For over 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities that allow them to

  • Try new things.
  • Provide service to others.
  • Build self-confidence.
  • Reinforce ethical standards.

While various activities and youth groups teach basic skills and promote teamwork, Scouting goes beyond that and encourages youth to achieve a deeper appreciation for service to others in their community.

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals. It is communicated to them that those in the Scouting family care about what happens to them, regardless of whether a game is won or lost.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Scouting promotes activities that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.

We're looking for a few good tents...

  • 2-burner propane stoves
  • Lightweight/backpacking stoves
  • Dining fly and rain fly's

  • Carabiner clips
  • Cast iron dutch ovens
  • Empty coffee cans to make charcoal chimney(s) 
  • Lanterns (propane or LED)
  • Dish towels, cleaning towels, hot pads, welding gloves for working with cast iron/cooking over fire
  • Paper products (paper towel, toilet paper, trash bags)
  • Hammer, rubber mallet
  • Donations gladly accepted, we're saving for our own Troop Trailer!!

Scouting.. By The Numbers


The experiences of Scouting's first century add up to some mighty big numbers, starting with one hundred candles on a cake. Here are some other eye-opening numbers:


110 million - People registered by the BSA since 1910

3 million - Youth members currently registered

2.3 million - Merit badges earned each year

2 million - Scouts who have earned the Eagle Scout award

1.1 million - Registered adult leaders

1 - You, the most important Scout today. Learn skills, have fun, work on advancement, and be the best Scout you can.


That's the best birthday gift you can give the BSA and Troop 12 of Appleton, WI!
