We love the outdoors. We love adventure. With proper Boy Scout leadership, training, planning, skills, attitude, and spirit, we believe that we are prepared to enjoy the great outdoors to its fullest extent.
We have outdoor activities throughout the year. We train scouts in camping and other outdoor skills. We train and coach scouts to help them develop and realize their leadership potential. We foster a “can-do” and positive Boy Scout attitude. We do many cool activities and we have a lot of fun doing them. We love to camp, backpack, climb, rappel, canoe, kayak, fish, and more.
We’d like to share our experience with you. We are looking for new scouts and adults that might enjoy the same adventures. We’d love to have you be a part of the excitement that is Troop 706! Why don’t you give our troop a try?
Upon joining Boy Scouts and Troop 706, all scouts agree to live by the Scout Oath and Law:
Scout Oath or Promise:
On my honor I wil do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law:
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Boy Scout Troop 706 was chartered by Saint Andrews Lutheran Church in 1966. Meetings are held every Monday night during the school year (except school holidays) starting 7:00 p.m and last 1 - 1.5 hours. We have a monthly outdoor activity to develop leadership, life, and outdoor skills through the patrol method.
Troop 706 is part of the Boonslick District in the Great Rivers Council in central Missouri.

Troop 706 had its Family Ski Trip at Hidden Valley Ski Resort in Eureka, Missouri on January 29, 2011. The whole family is welcomed at this event.
It is a great time to take lessons to learn to ski or just to get out and enjoy a beautiful Missouri winter setting.

Troop 706 hiked 7 miles (roundtrip) to the top of Mt. Bierstadt after summer camp in Colorado during June of 2010. The trailhead is at 11,669 feet above sea level. Several groups summitted at 14,060 feet above sea level. The hike was strenuous, but preparation during the week at Camp Alexander paid off, especially for those who tested themselves on Blue Mountain. The group shown in the photo was the early rising group. They were treated to a sunrise over Mount Bierstadt and low winds. Groups hiking later in the day were buffetted by heavier winds.

Members from Troop 706 attended a second summer camp at Hohn Scout Reservation from July 4-10, 2010. More than 50 merit badges were completed by the 20 scouts that attended. There were eleven scouts that completed the Brownsea program during this week, and eight scouts that completed their Tenderfoot rank. Way to go scouts! We also are proud of the three new scouts that were inducted into the Sons of Daniel Boone and one adult leader that was called out for the Order of the Arrow while at Hohn. What a week! WAY TO GO TROOP 706!
