Joining Troop 253

To begin your journey with Troop 253, attend one of our pack or troop gatherings. Pack 253 convenes at Watts Chapel Missionary Baptist Church every second and fourth Monday at 7:00 PM, while the Troop gathers every first Monday and third Saturday during the school year. Simply drop by, introduce yourself and your child to one of our uniformed leaders, and embark on this exciting adventure together.

Feel free to reach out to the Scoutmaster via email if you have any further inquiries about the troop. Parents interested in learning more about Scouting America and Troop 253 can also request additional information.

After your child is prepared to formally become a member of Troop 253, parents can proceed to sign in or register an account on https://my.scouting.org/.
