We're building leaders, one Scout at a time.
One of the oldest troops in the north Phoenix/Glendale area, we have a proud tradition going back to 1972. We have hundreds of alumni including more than 100 Eagle Scouts.
Our focus is to support young men in finding their path through Scouting to what is their passion while instilling a sense of citizenship, leadership, and service aligned with the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
