Troop 30 has organized its Patrol structure to best serve the learning and developmental needs of our Scouts. Following a more traditional model of scouting we have re-established the age related levels of Boy Scout (11-14), Senior Scout (14-18) and Rover Scout (18-and up). We hope to add a Cub Group (8-11) in the near future.

The Troop has two Senior Scout Patrols each with an elected Patrol Leader and Assistant. There is a Senior Patrol Leader who assists these Patrols in organization and outings. The Senior Scout program is designed for the needs and interests of Scouts age 14-18. Many Scout groups have experienced difficulty in providing a program that is of interest to this age range and at the same time able to include the Boy Scout age (11-14).

Our Senior program focuses on the " Trail to Eagle" and the interests, merit badges (proficiency badges) that are required for B.S.A.’s highest rank. Outdoor activities are more challenging with Mountain Biking, Canoeing and Backpacking on the agenda.

Senior Scouts take on an active role in the Scout Group serving as Troop Guides or Troop Instructors. Leadership skills are developed in the "Silver Ax" program, a Council sponsored J.L.T. program and the application of the skills and commitments, which the participants take home from this weeklong program. Most Senior Scouts are also active in the Order of the Arrow(the Scout Honor Society) and participate in various Lodge activities.

Our Senior Scouts also work towards the Silver Troop 30 Junior Leader Badge. Worn on the Senior Scout maroon beret this award requires completion of all Junior Leader training programs, rank advancement and demonstrated leadership as well as Scout spirit.
