How can I defer some of the cost of Scouting?
Coming Soon
I’m interested in joining Troop 457. How do I start that process?
In order to get started with the Troop, we ask that you complete the following items on our Quick Start Checklist:
- Complete BSA Youth Membership Application
- Complete Annual Health & Wellness Form
- Obtain / Purchase Scout Uniform & Other Gear
- Complete Troop 457 New Member Boot Camp
- Activate TroopTrack Account (An invitation has been sent to this email address from [email protected]. Be sure to check your Spam filter if you did not receive the email.)
Can girls join Scouts BSA Troop 457?
No. While the Scouts BSA program is co-ed (effective 2019), the BSA requires that individual Troop be either Boy Troops or Girl Troops. Troop 457 is chartered as a Boy Troop.
A minimum of 5 youth is required to charter a new Troop. To date, there has been insufficient interest to charter a girls Troop.
Who can join a Scouts BSA Troop?
- The Scouts BSA program is open to any youth who meet the following criteria:
- if they are at least 10 years old, currently in the fifth grade and register on or after March 1st; OR
- have earned the Arrow of Light Award and are at least 10 years old; OR
- are age 11 but have not reached age 18.
- Per BSA policy, boys and girls in the Scouts BSA program must be a part of separate Troops (although these Troop may share a Charter Organization and a Troop Committee).
- Troop 457 is a boy-only Troop.
- We are not currently affiliated with a girl-only Troop, however we will explore this option if there is sufficient interest from female Scouts and their parents.
