Troop 172: A New Girls Troop in Scouts BSA

We are pleased to announce the formation of Troop 172, a new Girl's-only troop in Scouts BSA*. Starting February, girls will be able to join Scouts BSA, go camping, earn merit badges and achieve Scouting's most-coveted award, the Eagle Scout Award.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a founding member of a Scouts BSA Girls Troop on the first day that Girls can join. Scouting activities include camping, hiking, rafting, first aid, knots, STEM, teamwork, and leadership.

If this sounds like fun, we're having an Open House where you can learn about our Troop, hear about the Scouting program and meet our Leaders. The Open House is on January 11th, 2019. Then on February 1st join us for the first official meeting of San Bruno's first Scouts BSA Girls Troop. If you are coming to the Open House, please RSVP at info@troop172sb.org.
Every girl that registers in the first month will get a Troop 172 Founders T-shirt.

See our website at www.troop172sb.org

Our troop is located in San Bruno, CA and we welcome girls from anywhere in the region. Eligible Girls must be at least 11 years old and not yet reached their 18th birthday. After the Welcome meeting, Troop 172 will meet every Thursday at 7pm. Troop 172 works in conjunction with Boys Troop 72 (founded in 1916).

* Scouts BSA is a new name with a long history. Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910, soon after the creation of the Scouting movement in England in 1908. As of February 1, 2019, the Boy Scouts of America are renaming their youth program (for ages 11-18) to Scouts BSA. The parent organization will continue to be Boy Scouts of America.
