Troop 73

BSA Troop 73 of Westchester is proud to be one of the oldest established Scout Troops in the Chicagoland area; having served local youth and our community since 1937. We are part of the Voyageur Trace District and the Des Plaines Valley Council. We have been a “Quality Unit” for the past 26 years.

We are a mid-sized (20+ boys) and very active troop with a variety of activities and scheduled monthly outings. Troop 73 meets every Wednesday at 7:30 pm at the Westchester Community Church in Westchester Illinois.

We attribute our success to our Scouts. Their drive, sense of adventure and excitement. With mentoring and guidance from the adults, the Scouts plan and carry out an active program. As with any well run troop, advancements, merit badges and high adventure activities keep our scouts very interested and very involved.

For our first year scouts, our focus is on learning “Scout Skills” with a very exciting program, the objective being self-confidence and reliability with the skills needed to enjoy the great outdoors in a safe and responsible manner.

For our older scouts, we have high adventure activities and opportunities, leadership and personal growth as well.

So, if you are looking for fun & adventure, then Troop 73 might be for you! We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting.
