Troop 12 developed and maintains this website in order to:
   *  Keep our Scouts and Scouting families informed.
   *  Share our adventures and knowledge with family, friends and the Scouting community.
   *  To help bring in new Scouts to our Troop.
   *  Let our community know about our Troop, its activities, and objectives.
   *  Encourage community support for our Troop and projects. Scouting has much to offer
      our community's youth. Our Troop gives back to the community by developing more
      responsible citizens and through numerous service projects. 

The Troop's goals can best be summed up by a quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt, "We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future." Feel free to join us as we help develop skills in our Scouts that will benefit them throughout their lives.  Troop 12 is organized using the BSA Patrol Method and strives to have the scouts manage as much of the troop operations themselves as they are able to take on.  Meetings and outings are planned and led by the scouts.

Troop meetings are Monday evenings from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm during the school year in the fellowship hall of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Batavia, IL.   You can contact our Troop Leaders using the Contact Us link in the left column of this website.  The troop does not meet when school is out of session for the summer.  Regular meetings in 2024 will end on May 20th and resume on August 19th.

BSA Troop 12 is chartered by the Immanuel Lutheran Church & School and is part of the Ottawa District in the Three Fires Council. Our Troop emphasizes a wide range of activities that appeal to both younger and older Scouts. If you're looking for a Troop to join, or just want more information about Scouting, we have a page just for you.
