Scouting will prepare your child to become a leader, accept responsibility, and care about principles and causes outside of their own self-interests. We accomplish this through servant leadership, citizenship, a well-defined program based on values, learning by doing, FUN, and positive role models.

Parent Testimonial 

” For the last five years my 3 boys, Donald, Dorian, and David have been a part of the Laurel Highlands Council – Troop 710. They were first introduced through the after-school program they were attending – H.O.P.E. for Tomorrow, Inc., under the direction of Mrs. Keysha Gomez. While they were a bit hesitant in the beginning, they quickly warmed up to attending the weekly troop meetings. Through their involvement with the BSA, my boys have learned so much about life, survival, community service, trades, and entrepreneurial skills. My husband and I felt it important to keep them on this path, receiving and being introduced to opportunities that we were never afforded growing up.

I’m happy to say that our eldest son, Donald Reid III, in one of the busiest years of his life, was able to complete all of his badges and service requirements to be considered for Eagle Scout-one of the highest rankings a Scout can achieve. He’s now enrolled at Penn West Edinboro University and received so many scholarships, with the help of his Scoutmasters and other program affiliates, that had no out-of-pocket cost for all 4 years of college.  He has a full ride!!

So I can’t thank his scout leaders enough, Cameron, Tyrelle, and Greg, have done an amazing job with our boys and I can’t wait to see what’s next.” -Tierra Reid, Eagle Scout Parent T710
