Scouting


Boy Scout Troop 83

Meeting Place: First United Methodist Church of Rockwall (Youth Room)

Meeting Time: Monday nights at 7pm. Meetings typically last 90 minutes.

 Welcoming new young men wanting to: have fun, develop leadership skills, have fun, live responsibly, have fun, and have fun.

 The Cool Stuff!

Troop 83 camps out at least once a month. Long-term camps such Winter
    Camp and Summer Camp are always on the schedule. 

Troop 83 has an active Trail to First Class program for new scouts.
     Experienced Assistant Scoutmasters assist new scouts in learning basic
     skills and help them advance.

High adventure camping is available after basic skills are learned and the boys get a little older.

Campouts last year included opportunities for canoeing, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, shooting, archery, sports, and much more….

 Because of an active program of camping, meetings, and merit badge instruction, boys have ample opportunities to advance in rank.  Over the last five years, Troop 83 has averaged producing seven Eagle Scouts each year. Many Eagle Scouts are still active in the program.

 Service!

 Troop members are active contributors to our local community. Food drives, blood
      drives, and other service projects are commitments made annually by the youth
      leaders of Troop 83.
