Troop 869        Scottsdale, Arizona

Welcome To Our Website!

Picture
Troop 869 prides itself on its long tradition of providing the boys of Scottsdale with a very active Scouting program designed to build character, to develop fitness, to foster citizenship and to teach outdoor skills in a rewarding, fun-filled, exciting and safe atmosphere. 

At Troop 869, we believe in the core values of Scouting based primarily on the principles of the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.

We build the leaders of tomorrow by emphasizing leadership and character in our programs. 

We use the BSA Patrol Method, which focuses on boy leadership and personal responsibility. Our Troop Program is planned and executed by the Scouts themselves, based upon their interests and the needs of the Troop. 

With special emphasis on monthly outings, the dedicated adult leaders of Troop 869 provide an enjoyable and fun-filled outdoor experience in which they nurture each Scout's development by supporting individuality, self-esteem, cooperation and community service.

Troop 869's monthly outdoor adventure program consists of weekend camping and backpacking trips, service projects on behalf of needy individuals and groups, plus our annual week-long summer camp, just to name a few. (See our Recent Outing Photo Album and Pictorial History to view some of our exciting adventures from the past!) 

Troop Meetings are held most Thursday nights from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm at the McDowell Mountain Ranch Community Center, 10607 E. Paradise Ln., Scottsdale, AZ 85255 (Please check our Troop Calendar for exact dates and times).
