Scouts BSA Troop 22 is a family troop located in Raleigh, NC serving both boys and girls from Apex, Cary and Raleigh. It was started in August 2012. Troop 22 is part of the Cardinal District in the Occoneechee Council, and we meet at Woodhaven Baptist Church.
We camp just about every month and attend Scout Summer camp every summer the week of July 4th. Our camp outs teach not only outdoor skills and appreciation of natural areas, but also provide advancement opportunities and adventure.
A few times a year, we hold our Court of Honor ceremony to recognize our hard-working scouts as the advance through their scouting ranks. This formal ceremony honors our Scouts where they receive merit badges, rank advancements, and special awards in front of their families.
Our program focuses on five (5) core pillars for every Scout:
• Character Development: Building moral strength and personal integrity
• Active Citizenship: Encouraging meaningful participation in the community
• Total Fitness: Developing physical, mental, and emotional health
• Outdoor Appreciation: Cultivating comfort and confidence in nature
• Leadership Skills: Preparing youth to guide and inspire others
We emphasize these fundamental tools to set them up for future success on any path they choose. By working together and learning through hands-on experience, our Scouts grow into their best selves—while having plenty of fun along the way.
