Welcome to the Troop 83 webpage


   

 

Troop 83 is based in Rochester, MN and meets weekly on Monday evenings.  We also have a monthly campout that begins on Friday evening and ends on Sunday at about noon. At Troop meetings, scouts discuss upcoming activities, work on merit badges, do patrol activities and plan campout menus. Recent campouts have included Frontenac State Park, Whitewater State Park, Gamehaven Camporee, Oxbow Park, Rochester Area Family Y lock-in, Phillipo Scout Reservation in Cannon Falls, McGowan Farms in Mankato, and Myre Big Island Park in Albert Lea.  At campouts, we hike, bike, canoe, climb, swim, and do many other fun activities in the great outdoors.  We also perform service activites at campouts and throughout the year such as Scouting for Food, Ringing the Bell for the Salvation Army, and assistance for local groups. Our scouts have the opportunity to earn membership in the Order of the Arrow honor society for scouting, and attend summer camps such as Tesomas Scout Camp (Rhinelander WI), Many Point Scout Camp (Ponsford, MN) and Camp Phillips (Rice Lake, WI). We also regularly send crews to participate in national high adventure camps including the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, Sea Base in Florida and the Bahamas, and the Northern Tier Canoe Base in Ely, MN. Since 2010, 26 scouts in Troop 83 have attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Please send us an e-mail through the link on this page if you are interesting in more information about how to join Troop 83.
