Scout Troop 7
Troop 7 is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Scouts BSA Troop 7 is an open and affirming scout-led Troop.
Troop 7 is a diverse group coming from many different schools (Ann Arbor and other nearby public schools, both charter and private) as well as different backgrounds and faiths (some are members of First Presbyterian, but most are not).
Troop 7 has about 15 active and registered Scouts. We meet on Mondays at the First Presbyterian Church (Map) or via zoom from 7:30 to 8:30 pm.
Troop 7 is scout-led, which means the scouts plan the outings. They also run the meetings, and choose boys to fill the youth leadership positions (including Senior Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leaders, and Patrol Leaders).
Troop 7 has a campout or other activity every month, and we attending summer camp, typically Cole Canoe Base, every year.
Troop 7 has a rich history – Troop 7 was first formed in March 1918 at the YMCA in Ann Arbor. It then moved briefly to the Methodist Church; and in 1920 moved to First Presbyterian Church. About 2000 scouts have been associated with Troop 7 in the last 80 years.
