TROOP 415

To Serve – To Strive – Not to Yield

Join Us

We’d love to welcome your family to our troop! Scouting is all about adventure, learning new skills, building friendships, and developing leadership in a fun and supportive environment.

Eligibility

Youth can join Troop 415 if they are:

  • At least 10 years old
  • Currently in the fifth grade and register on or after March 1st

OR

  • At least 10 years old
  • Have earned the Arrow of Light Award

OR

At least 11 years old but have not reached age 18

If your youth is or about to be enrolled in K-5, they are able to join Cub Scouts. We really encourage you to join Pack 88, who meet at the same location and day, just a bit earlier.

Let’s meet!

We would love to have your youth come and visit us for a meeting or two to see if we’re a good fit. The best option is to come one Wednesday at 6:45pm, have your youth introduce themself to one of the adults and we’ll connect them with a Scout to help introduce them and guide them around a meeting or two. While your Scout is off doing that, please chat with one of the adults to get more details and answer any questions you might have.

Getting Started

If your youth decides to join, the next steps are registration and getting a uniform. And if you’re a parent who’d like to get involved, you’re welcome to join as an adult leader too!
