BSA Troop 570

Trail to First Class

Troop570’s Trail to First Class (TFC) program is designed to provide guidance and direction to our first year Scouts until they have achieved the rank of First Class.  The TFC program coordinator along with other Scout Leaders will work to ensure that these Scouts perform the necessary requirements to achieve each of the ranks listed below.  Skills for these requirements will be taught during classes at regular troop meetings, campouts, summer camp, service projects and other events.  The goal of this program is to enable each TFC Scout to reach the rank of First Class within 12-18 months after their join date.
