BOY SCOUTS & CUB SCOUTS

Cub Scouts Pack 105

Boy Scouts Troop 505

Troop 505, "The Prairie Troop", was chartered in 1964 and has been a continuously active troop since its inception. Many boys have graduated from the troop with the skills, values and self-confidence necessary to guide them through their entire adult life.

Troop 505 has awarded over 141 Scouts their Eagle rank, the highest rank a Boy Scout can attain. The values we and the Boy Scouts of America strive to instill are based on those found in the Scout Oath and Law.

The aim of Scouting is to build character, foster citizenship, and to develop fitness. Troop 505’s program is planned and run by the boys with guidance from the adult leaders. Scouting works best in the out-of-doors and Troop 505 supports a strong outdoor program.

Over the years the Troop has been as big as 100 and as small as 30. We are an active boy run Troop.  We have weekly meetings and camp every month during the school year.  In summer we crank up the fun.  Every boy has the opportunity to attend summer camp.  The past few years we have attended  Ransburg Scout Reservation in Bloomington, IN, this is an excellent with many opportunities.

Adults are invited to share their skills and interests in order to develop the best possible program for this troop. The troop has over 70 registered Scouts. Adults are needed as merit badge counselors for badges that fall within hobby interests, sports activities or job and career backgrounds.
