It teaches youth how to serve God, others and themselves by becoming servant leaders who make moral and ethical choices.

Dave's vision for the Troop 1570 to be the home where best of the patrol method is lived by trained/engaged youth and adult leaders empowering them to the best of Scouting’s ideals, values and mission. He attributes his leadership and outdoor skills to lots of training and his lifetime of active engagement with youth ministries, including Scouting.
