Boy Scout BSA Troop 997 Facts and Figures

Troop 997 Facts and Figures

Our current membership stands at over 70 boys, as we have continued to grow since our original charter in 1998 with 12 scouts. The troop's success is due largely in part to our active parent participation. Currently we have over 50 registerred adult members of the troop. A typical weekend camping outing finds ten or more "Old Goats" along to insure the scouts' safety and provide an active scouting program.

In the 2006-2007 charter year the scouts in Troop 997:

Had 484 nights of camping;
Had 384 hiking miles;
Contributed 188 hours of community service;
Earned 153 merit badges in 38 different areas;
