New Scouts & Families

Why join the Boy Scouts?

In Scouting, you’ll learn to camp, enjoy the wilderness, and lead others to accomplish great things. Along the way you’ll also have fun fishing, boating, caving, rock climbing, skiing, and participating in other great outdoor activities. Through the Scouting program that’s been refined over decades, you’ll develop skills and confidence that will see you through anything you’ll face later in life.

Who can join Toop 777?

Any boy can join Troop 777 if he is:

• At least 11 years old and not yet 18, or
• Has completed the fifth grade, or
• Has earned the Arrow of Light award through Cub Scouts and is at least 10 years old

It’s not necessary to participate in Cub Scouts to join Boy Scouts, and if you are a Cub Scout, you can join Troop 777 from any Pack. Our Troop prides itself on being welcoming and we have Scouts from Hudson and many other surrounding communities and schools.

What will I do in Troop 777?

Weekly Meetings

We have meetings every Monday from 7:00-8:30 PM during the Hudson School year calendar. We meet during the spring and fall at Hudson Springs Park and during the winter at First Congregational Church, our charter organization.

• Hudson Springs Park, 7095 Stow Rd, Hudson, OH 44224
• First Congregational Church, 47 Aurora St, Hudson, OH 44236

Monthly Campouts

Every month between September and May we’ll have a campout. Check the Troop Calendar to see where we’re camping this year. Each spring scouts will design the calendar for the next scouting year, including what campouts we’ll have.

Summer Camp

For a week at the beginning of July, Troop 777 attends summer camp at Camp Manatoc in Peninsula Ohio. At summer camp you’ll earn merit badges and have fun swimming, shooting, rock wall climbing, and much more.

High Adventure Trips

Each summer the Troop also plans one or more high adventure trips at more remote locations further from home. Read more about our high adventure trips.

How can parents participate?

Parents of scouts can attend monthly campouts and high adventure trips, stay for a night or longer at summer camp, and volunteer for leadership positions or with administrative tasks. Unlike Cub Scouts, a parent does not need to attend every event with their scout.
