About Us
We are Catalina Council's second All-Female Troop on the Eastside of town
Our first meeting was on February 1, 2019. It was a great meeting working hard on their Scout Rank.
We have fun while working
Working towards Eagle Scout rank is a great adventure!
We are an older-girl unit, so we are up to the challenge
Since we know how to work hard and as a team, we get more out of learning and achieving.
FAQS
Are there boys in the Troop?
Scouts BSA now allows there to be female troops, but the troops cannot be coed. In our troop, we have some of the boys from our venturing crew help our girls in advancements because they are Eagle Scouts. We feel this is beneficial, as the girls can better understand what being an Eagle Scouts is all about.
Can I still join if I'm 16 or 17 years old? Don't scouts in troop age out at 18 years old?
Yes. Any scout who joins a troop in 2019, will be able to file an extension after their 18th birthday for an additional 2-year since it will take some time for them to complete their Eagle Scout rank.
Is there a lot of outdoor activities?
We are trying to keep the OUTING in SCOUTING. In addition to the two troop meeting, we try to get out 1-2 time in the month. These outing can be camping, hiking, biking, canoeing, and so forth. Most outings will relate to merit badge work and rank advancements in one way or the other.
Is it expensive to be in the troop?
Aside from paying the National associated fees, our yearly program and overead for the year is $155. There are other associate cost related to summer camp and other activities that you would pay to participate. in the ones you will attend. The troop will work with you, if times get challenging.
Will I have to participate in fundraising?
Fundraising is an opportunity to raise money to help pay for your scouting program. There will be several opportunities to work on these.
How can I set up a visit to your troop?
Please contact us if you want to visit. We want to make sure we have enough supplies for you to participate. Our troop meetings are Friday evenings...but we do not meet every Friday. So feel free to join is.
