Scouts BSA Troop 0473 (boys)

The Scouts BSA program is for boys who are 11 through 17 years of age. The traditional Scouting program, Scouts BSA is where youth develop outdoor survival skills, self-confidence, and ethics through youth planned activities with increased attention to service, community engagement, and leadership. 
 

Scouts BSA Troop 473 was founded in 1981.  We are proud of our affiliation with St. Joseph's Catholic Church, and of our nearly 90 boys who have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, Scouting’s highest honor.
 
We meet on Thursday evenings from 7:15 to 8:30 p.m.  On the second Thursday of each month, our Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) meeting takes place from 6:00 to 7:15 p.m., and on the third or fourth Thursday of each month, our Troop Committee meeting (for parents and adult leaders) is held during the same timeframe.  All meetings are held in the school cafeteria.
 
Our activities include monthly campouts, summer camps at Scouting America reservations, and high-adventure summer camps in such places as the Florida Keys and the mountains of West Virginia.
