Boy Scout Troop 47 - Merton, WI

Troop meetings are held every Monday from 7:00 to 7:45 PM. Check Scoutbook to see the event schedule.

Who leads Troop 47?


Our Scouts lead the weekly meetings, however the Scout body plays an important role in choosing and organizing outings and campouts.

Why Should You Join Troop 47?


We believe in High adventure all year, not just a special and expensive trip to a "high adventure" base. Do you crave whitewater? How about climbing cliffs? Maybe wilderness kayaking, cave spelunking or a houseboat adventure is more your style? The boys of Troop 47 crave adventure! These are just a few examples of outings we go on!

Our Scouts learn and love to give back to the community in various forms of service. Roadside cleanups, assisting the Merton Fire Department, hosting games at National Night out, and Troop 47's best event: running the Midwest's only Outdoor Adventure Camp (OAC) for Webelos.

Our scouts are from all over! We work closely with Merton School Pack 47, Richmond School Troop 31, and Swallow School Troop 296. We also work with several nearby communities: Erin, Sullivan, Hartland, North Lake, Sussex and Lisbon to name a few. Our young men hone their outdoor skills and leadership abilities through our campouts, service hour activities, and weekly meetings.
