Join Troop 348
Camping, friendships and real leadership for boys and girls ages 11 to 17. No experience needed. The easiest way to start is to come to a Monday meeting.
Why scouts love it here
Adventure every month
Camping, hiking, backpacking and snow caves, plus a week of summer camp every year.
Scouts lead the way
Scouts plan the meetings and the outings, and learn to lead by doing it.
Friends for life
Boys and girls work together in small patrols that camp, cook and plan side by side.
A proud tradition
In Lake Forest Park since 1923, with more than 120 Eagle Scouts.
Three easy steps
New scouts can start any time of year.
Try a Monday meeting
Bring your scout to any Monday meeting, 6:30 to 8:00 PM. Just drop in, or contact us first so we know to look for you.
Meet the troop and our leaders
Your scout spends the evening with a patrol while you talk with our adult leaders and ask anything you like.
Sign up
When your scout is ready, we help you register with Scouting America and place your scout in a patrol. We will also invite your family to Band, our private troop app for the calendar, outing photos and notices.

Questions parents ask
- Does my scout need Cub Scout experience?No. Plenty of scouts join without it, and we teach everything along the way.
- Who can join?All genders are welcome. Every scout is part of one troop, with mixed patrols and shared leadership, and we work to make sure everyone feels they belong.
- When can we start?Any time of year. Just come to a Monday meeting.
- What if cost is a concern?Money should never stand in the way. We offer financial assistance and scholarships to any scout who needs them, and we keep it private.
- Who leads the troop?Scouts lead, with support from trained adult volunteers. Every adult in the troop completes Scouting America's Safeguarding Youth training.
