Title
Boy Scout Troop 457
Description
BSA Troop 457 meets every Wednesday night during the school year at St. John's Lutheran Church. We have about 50 active members. Our meetings start at 7:30 pm and conclude at 9 pm. We are very appreciative for the generosity of St. John's on serving as our charter organization and for allowing us to use the church for our meetings.
Troop 457 is a Scout led Troop, as all Troops should be, which means that as a Scout in our Troop, you will have the opportunity to develop leadership skills that will last a lifetime. Our Scouts elect a Senior and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leaders, and other officers of rank (Quartermaster, Scribe, etc.) who meet monthly to plan and carry out the yearly troop program of activities. Once planned, the whole troop participates in organizing the event and making it a success. High energy, enthusiasm, and team spirit characterize our Troop.
Troop 457 plans and delivers a very outdoor oriented program for its members. We go weekend camping at least once a month, go to camp as a Troop every summer, go on extended weekend special trips, and work on service projects. Examples of our activities during the past several years include:
