Welcome to Troop 953 in Downs, IL

At Troop 953, we pride ourselves on being a Scout-led unit where young men and women learn to lead by doing. With the full support of our Scoutmasters, Committee, and Downs UMC, we strive to provide an excellent, well-rounded program for all youth.

On behalf of our entire troop family, we welcome you and emphasize our commitment to making your children's scouting journey a life-changing experience.
