ABOUT TROOP 25

Boy Scouts. Lead The Way.

We have been serving boys ages 10-18 in South St. Louis County since 1946

The Boy Scout program is designed to promote character, leadership, citizenship and personal fitness in boys while instilling the fundamental values of Scouting.

Scouting is the ultimate form of learning by doing. Boy Scouts learn the value of hard work, and experience the thrill of seeing it pay off. Youth lead their own activities and participate in service, outdoor adventures, and leadership development programs. Scouts are introduced to countless hobbies, interests, sciences, and even future career choices. They can work on advancement and earning specific merit badges while also working their way toward earning Scouting’s highest rank, Eagle.
