Welcome to the First Year
Emphasis (FYE) Program at Troop 787
You have joined one of the biggest and most
active troops in the Central Florida Council.
You will soon learn that Scouting in Troop
787 can be a very rewarding and fulfilling experience. Most boys join Boy Scouts
for Fun and adventure. If that's what you want you
have joined the right troop.
Frequently Asked Questions
We put the 'OUTING in ScOUTING". Our
"Outdoor Program" is very active. The troop goes camping every
month, during the school year. During the summer we will attend two (week
long) summer camps (at least one out of state camp), plus numerous other
activities throughout the year.
Boy Scout Patrols are much like Cub Scout
Dens. Each patrol will consist of 8-12 boys of about the same age. Each Patrol
will be guided by 2-4 adults. One of these adults will be an experienced
Assistant Scout Master (ASM) who is already familiar with Troop 787
operations. The other adults assigned to the Patrol will come from the new
leaders who have recently joined the troop. In addition, each patrol will be
assigned one or more troop guides, who are senior scouts in our troop.
Most questions can be answered by your
Primary Assistant Scout Master. If he does not know the answer he will know
where the answer can be found.
Another great resource is the troop web
site (which you are now at). In addition to the Calendar and tools
sections, we maintain several troop e-mail lists. Because of the large number
of Scouts and Leaders, E-Mail is just another way to keep everyone informed.
We have the following mailing lists:
FYE List - E-Mail list dedicated to the
scouts in our FYE program. Subscribe here
