Welcome to BSA Troop 80

OUR MISSION
To provide the Scouting program in a safe, enriching environment; to promote fun, adventure, and learning; and to encourage personal development of character and integrity in our Scouts.

TROOP PROFILE
Boy Scout Troop 80 is an exciting and action oriented troop that fosters the patrol method originally developed by Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts. Through the patrol method, the boys run their own program, plan and execute their meetings and outings, and learn by their successes and failures. The troop draws most of its members from the west side of St. Charles, including Campton Hills, Wasco, Elburn, South Elgin and Lily Lake. Our sponsor is Bell-Graham PTO. The goal of Troop 80 is to make the learning of scout skills fun and use these as stepping stones in the development of responsibility, character, citizenship and leadership skills as well as physical fitness.

Hello Troop 80 Families,

As many of you know, Troop 80 had been scheduled to go on a 12-day trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico in 2020 – until the pandemic forced Philmont to cancel all treks for the year. Fortunately, they were able to find an opening for our crew in 2021. Our trek is now scheduled to take place from June 7 – 19, 2021.

Dear Parents of Troop 80 Scouts,

Now it is the time of year that Troop 80 is required to recharter with the Boy Scouts of America, and the annual fee is due at this time. The recharter year will be changing from an annual calendar to a school year-based period of October through September. So, this year the recharter fee will transition with a 10-month period of January 2021 through October 2021. Also, this year Three Fires Council will end the Family Friends of Scouting fundraiser, and add a program fee to the recharter cost.
