About Us

Troop 288 – Learn, Do, Lead

We are a small sized, boy lead Troop with over a fifty nine year history as part of the Circle 10 Council.

Our mission is to provide Scouts the opportunity to develop core Scouting values and real world skills with fellow Scouts, parents, and adult leaders’ support. We want to be the best Troop in the Circle 10 Council by making sure our youth are having fun and living the Scout Oath and Law, even when no one is looking.

Our focus is to develop our Scouts into leaders in the community by supporting them on their advancement path within Scouting. We are extremely proud of our Eagle Scouts! We believe in service and participate in multiple service projects in our community, state, and country.
