Welcome to Troop 175

Boy Scout Troop 175 has been serving the Blue Springs, MO community since 1992. Since then, our program has helped over 60 boys attain the rank of Eagle Scout. Our Troop has an active outdoor program that includes monthly campouts, summer camp at H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation, and high-adventure trips to places such as Colorado, Philmont Scout Ranch, and the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota. These programs offer our young men unique experiences and are designed to be safe and fun while teaching them the values and morals they will need in order to become valuable assets and good citizens in both our community and nation.

We are chartered (sponsored) by Timothy Lutheran Church and we meet on Monday evenings from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. at Timothy Lutheran Church South located on the northeast corner of Wyatt Rd. and South 7 Hwy. in southern Blue Springs, MO. However, despite our affiliation with the church, all religious denominations are welcome in our troop.



How Do I Join????

Boy Scouting is open to any boy between the ages of 11 and 18. For more information please feel free to drop us an email by clicking HERE or visit one of our weekly meetings.


How Can Parents Help???
 
Active, committed Leaders and parents are the heart and soul of a successful Troop and our Troop is no different. We welcome any and all new adult leaders who are willing to give of their time. Whether it is in a simple volunteer position or in a leadership role, you don't need to have any special abilities to make a huge difference in a young man's life. If you choose to become a leader, we will make sure that you are provided with any necessary training in order for you to perform in a variety of leadership roles.
