The girls in Troop 2115 are from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. As individuals who may not have mixed under other circumstances, they have learned to lead themselves and then others through a variety of outdoor experiences. The BSA Scouting program offers a fellowship and personal growth opportunities that have fully manifested itself in this group of remarkable girls. Girls come into our troop with varied camping experience. Some come from other scout organizations, some come from Cub Scouts, some camp with their family, and others come with little to no experience. No matter the skill level, Scouting will teach you everything you need to know in a fun environment. We are linked with Troop 15, a male BSA Troop established in 1989. This means that we share:- A sponsor and location (Embry Hills United Methodist Church)
- Committee (adult oversight group)
- Some adult leaders
- Equipment (trailer, etc.)
- Scout Hut (storage for equipment)
- Occasional activities (merit badge clinics, campouts)
Our troop has our own Scoutmaster, youth leaders, calendar, meetings, and identity.Scout troops are youth-led, meaning that elected girls plan weekly meetings and the annual calendar. Adults provide guidance as needed. Being youth-led is an important part of the Scout program, as it teaches Scouts valuable leadership and communications skills.Statistics as of July 2024- 45 girls, ages 10-17
