About the Troop 101 Vasity Team
Once a Scout reaches the age of fourteen he is eligible to join the Varsity Team. Varsity Scouts continue to work on rank advancement. They also have opportunities to earn Varsity letters for high adventure activities and sports.
The Varsity Team is intended to be more boy led than the younger Scouts. Varsity Scouts take the lead in planning what activities they do and plan the actual events as well.
The Varsity Team has it's own positions, these qualify for rank advancement as well. The Varsity Scouts have the opportunity to earn other awards such as the Denali award. The Varsity Scouts are led by a Team Captain. There are also program managers for the following areas, advancement, high adventure/sports, personal development, service and special programs and events.
Varsity Scouts wear the same uniform as the regular Scout Troop. The Varsity Scouts wear orange shoulder loops and a Varsity identification strip above the right pocket.
The Troop 101 Varsity Team has grown in size over the last year and we have a very active group of Scouts in the program. As a Varsity Scout you can expect to have a lot of fun.
