Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) is a Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation program for single Soldiers. This program is Soldier-driven, with a foundation in giving single service members an avenue to surface issues and recommend policy changes that will enhance the overall quality of life, to participate in recreation and leisure activities of their choice, and to contribute to and participate in their local communities. This program provides an opportunity to assist in the development of single Soldiers and leaders.

The BOSS Council organizes and conducts activities for single Soldiers. These activities include trips to the beach, 5K runs, gaming tournaments, car shows, white water rafting, trips to off-post entertainment venues, and activities/parties in the BOSS Center. The BOSS facility boasts big screen televisions, gaming systems, free Wi-Fi, a pool table, ping pong, and a new movie theater.

The Fort Drum BOSS program is proud to offer a safe, alcohol- and drug-free environment for Soldiers to enjoy themselves.

Fort Drum BOSS is open to all single Soldiers, to include single parents and geographical bachelors, National Guard and Reservists on active duty status for more than 30 days. We welcome all ranks: enlisted and officers. While single Soldiers take priority, married Soldiers are welcome to participate as well.

It is our belief that a high quality early childhood program enhances the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children while responding to their individual needs. The developmental activities at our Child Development Centers (CDC) are structured to promote a child's positive self-image by enhancing the social, cognitive and communicative skills.

The CDC philosophy is to provide quality child care based on developmentally appropriate practices. Goals include helping children become enthusiastic learners; encouraging children to be active and creative explorers, who are not afraid to try out new ideas and think their own thoughts; helping children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive learners; and teaching children how to learn for life. Goals are built on skills in the areas of social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. The activities that support the goals are designed to make play fun and educational.

Memorial CDC (Part-time Strong Beginnings, Pre-K and Toddler), S. Riva Ridge (Full Day Care), Po Valley CDC (Full Day Care), and Chapel Drive (Full Day and Hourly Care) are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
