Boy Scout Troop 562 of Woodridge, IL
Welcome to Our Website!
Our Troop meets at Goodrich school in Woodridge on Thursday evenings, and serves Woodridge and the surrounding area. We meet throughout the year; at the school during the school year and elsewhere in the summer, and are active throughout the entire year with camping, hiking and other activities. We have a very active program with a full calendar of interesting activities geared toward excitement, fun and growth.
Our Troop is strongly focused on the patrol method , and is a youth-run organization. We see the role of the adults in the Troop as one of helping the Scouts to learn how to become leaders; to be responsible and to plan and execute their own activities. With this in mind, our leaders supervise the process with the Scouts, and help the Scouts to learn how to run the activities themselves. Our supervision provides the safety net for the Scouts while allowing them enough room to learn through their own successes and mistakes. We are very character based , and see Scouting as an ideal program for helping boys learn to become the sort of men that others will respect and look up to. Please explore our website and see what we have been up to. You will also find information about scouting programs, skills, knot tying, gear and other things of interest to scouts.
Come see us some time! |

We are inviting any Webelos II boys who are interested in our Troop to come join us with their parents on a campout at Camp Lakota, in Woodstock IL. This cabin campout is an excellent opportunity to meet the boys of our Troop, and see how we run an actual outing. We will depart from Goodrich School on Friday evening (November 21st), and return early Sunday afternoon (November 23rd). We will be available to talk with parents about any questions they may have about the Troop, and our Patrol Leader Council will have activities planned which will be typical of what you might expect of our Troop. The cost is $10 per person. Please contact our Scoutmaster if you are interested in attending or if you have any questions. He can be reached at (630) 435-1533 or you can email him at scoutmaster @ our-troop.com with any questions. If you would like to see our Troop before deciding, please feel freee to come to any meeting; the locations and times are all on the calendar on this webpage. |

We camped at Greene Valley in September with Pack 511 from Woodridge. The Troop arrived Friday night and got ready for the Pack's arrival Saturday afternoon. The scouts prepared a great campfire program for the Cub Scouts and cooked an interesting array of dutch oven desserts to go with the s'mores that the Pack prepared. The weather cooperated wonderfully and everyone seemed to really enjoy the weekend. |

 Sugar Creek August 2008
We started this canoe trip at 10:15 a.m. and we canoed for 10 hours. The reason for that was that the course was 15 miles long. It was an adventurous trip because a person fell out of their canoe, another canoe was swamped, and three paddles were lost in the river, but later found. Some people saw an eagle catch a fish. The weather was beautiful. On Sunday, we packed up and played jump the boarder. It was a great trip. |

Well, another great week of summer camp... We had 15 scouts at summer camp this year (out of a total troop membership of 16)! The weather was perfect throughout the week and we had a great time. The scouts earned a ton of merit badges (33 completed and a mess of partials) and over 30 T-2-1 requirements were met and signed off. Mr. Collins did a great job heading up the Taste of Madron entry of ribs and barbequed Cornish Hens and the scouts did a nice job of representing the Troop at the water carnival on Friday. The OA Tap Out ceremony was very cool as well. Thanks again to the leaders who spent time at camp to make the week possible and thanks to our drivers for getting us to and from the camp. |
