Who We Serve

A welcoming community for every Scout

A Different Kind of Program

Troops 133 and 1033
are joint Scouting America troops serving young people ages 11–17 in our community. We're proud to be an inclusive program that welcomes youth of all backgrounds — including those who may not find their place in traditional school athletics or clubs.
What is Scouts BSA?
Scouts BSA is the flagship program of Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America) for youth ages 11–17. Through outdoor adventures, service projects, and skill-building, Scouts develop leadership abilities, self-confidence, and a sense of civic responsibility. Scouts progress through ranks while earning merit badges in areas from wilderness survival to robotics, all while building lasting friendships.
Open to All
Our program is built on the belief that every young person deserves a community where they can grow, contribute, and be celebrated for who they are. We especially welcome students with IEPs, 504 plans, or those who simply haven't found "their thing" yet.

Personal Achievement

Self-paced advancement through ranks and 130+ merit badges — every Scout progresses at their own speed.

Voices from Our Troop

What families say...

First let me say that I am proud to have served with Troop133. I have over 66 years in scouting and the one thing that remains constant is that your youth want to have fun. I have also seen over the years that I have met your children many times before. Youth this age all are different, but they all want to belong and have a good time doing scouting things. Troop 133 and 1033 have excellent leadership. They are trained and have experience. I have seen many leaders over my years and Troop 133 and Troop1033 are among the best. Go ahead and try scouting the youth will love it.

A few months after my husband died, we joined Scouts as an activity where my son, my daughter, and I could participate together. We needed something new — something fun — a place that wasn’t defined by what we had lost, but by what we could discover next. What we found was a beautiful community of friendly, accepting adults and Scouts who welcomed us, taught us new things, and took us on adventures. Scouts has given all of us friends, opportunities to learn and grow, unforgettable memories, and a community where everyone belongs. Our little family loves being part of our Scouting family.

My daughter was a tagalong in her brother’s Cub Scout pack for five years before girls were allowed to join Scouting. Since then, I have watched a shy, quiet girl grow into a strong leader and become the second Eagle Scout in her troop. Her experience in Scouting helped shape the young woman she has become, and she continues to inspire and encourage other girls.

I was nervous because I'm not very athletic and I didn't know anyone. But camping is different — everyone helps each other. I made real friends here, and now I'm a Patrol Leader.

My son has ADHD and struggled to fit in with team sports. The coaches always saw him as a problem. Here, the leaders see his energy as an asset. He's thriving for the first time, and he actually wants to go to meetings.
