Welcome to troop7.net, the website for
Troop 7 of Foxboro, Massachusetts! We invite you to look around and see what
scouting is all about, Troop 7 style. Start with the gallery to see the trips we've taken
and community service projects we've done. Browse the schedule to see what we've done and
what we're planning for the next quarter. And feel free to e-mail
us if you'd like to learn more. Troop 7
meets at the Bethany Church in Foxboro, MA on Friday nights from 7:00 to 9:00.
"Empowering boys to
be leaders is the core of Scouting. Scouts learn by doing, and what they do is
lead their patrols and their troop. The boys themselves develop a troop’s
program, then take responsibility for figuring out how they will achieve their
goals.”
Excerpted from the Scoutmaster
Handbook 1998
The goal of Troop 7 is to have fun. We
promise to try our very best to make every step of your journey organized, safe
and fun - led by boys, using the patrol method, under the advisement of adults.
Here at Troop 7 you will gain physical, mental, emotional and moral fitness, and
you will learn to live the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.
