About Us

Scouts BSA Troop

Meetings

Our Leaders

This is an all female scout troop with girls ranging in age from 11 to 17 years old.

We do not run co-ed like some Troops. A separate all-boy troop meets at the Church on the same night.

We meet on Tuesday evenings at 7pm at St. Philips Episcopal Church, 100 Romeo Rd. Rochester, MI  48307

We have several female Scoutmasters with over 15 years of experience each! We welcome the support of both Moms and Dads.

Adventure – Friendship – Fun – Service

We have lots of camping opportunities throughout the year.  We camp most months including adventures and relaxing outings.
