Can girls join Scouts BSA Troop 457?

No.Β  While the Scouts BSA program is co-ed (effective 2019), the BSA requires that individual Troop be either Boy Troops or Girl Troops.Β  Troop 457 is chartered as a Boy Troop.

A minimum of 5 youth is required to charter a new Troop.Β  To date, there has been insufficient interest to charter a girls Troop.
