Troop 153 meets at St. John's Episcopal Church on
Monday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. St. John's is
conveniently
located near 41st and Lewis.
Our Low Leader-to-Scout ratio ensures each Scout receives
the attention required for advancement. Scouts are able
to advance at their own pace, without being left behind
by their peers.
Troop 153 is a "boy-led" Troop using the "patrol methods."
The Troop is divided into sub-units of 8-10 boys called
Patrols. Every six months, the Scouts elect a new Senior
Patrol Leader, Quartermaster, and Scribe. These three
youth leaders along with the Patrol Leaders serve as
the Scoutmaster's Advisory Board and they run Troop 153.
The Scoutmaster and an excellent group of dedicated
and trained adult leaders support this group of young men
in their Scouting decisions.
Troop 153 provides a positive and supportive atmosphere
and focuses on each individual's career - all the way
to Eagle!
Resources available to the Troop include a sound financial
foundation, camping gear, transportation, Troop trailer
and the backing of an active committee and a supportive
chartering organization.
