Located at St. Gregory the Great Parish on Milwaukee's southwest side, our Troop is made up of Scouts from both the city and the surrounding suburbs. Our Scouts are taught the values instilled in the Scout Law including the benefits of hard work, the strength of family, and reverence towards God. We are a boy led group that strives to help the Scouts learn the leadership skills that will help them later in life as adults. One of our goals is to help our Scouts become the responsible adults we all would like them to be someday.
"If you're not having fun (in Scouts), you're doing something wrong!"- Groucho Marx
The number one goal in Scouting is to have fun and that is our goal. We are a highly active group that has outdoor outings at least once every month including going to two different week long camps in the summer. Our Troop meetings are usually every Thursday night in Tenpenny Hall, and then we will have some kind of group activity once a month- usually a weekend camp out.
The Scouts also have the opportunity to enjoy amazing High Adventure opportunities, such as backpacking in New Mexico at the Philmont Scout Ranch or canoeing the Mississippi River. The Scouts earn money towards going on these adventures through our annual Christmas Tree Lot Sale, Fish Fries, and popcorn sales. Our Troop also organizes and takes part in community service projects benefiting neighborhoods, the disadvantaged, and more.
