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.
