Boy Scout Troop 653 typically meets on Monday nights at Red Mountain United Methodist Church, in Mesa, Arizona. In recent weeks, we meet virtually with a few in-person activities. Troop 653 has been meeting for over 24 years and currently has 40+ active scouts. We are the largest Scout Troop in the east valley, committed to instilling the values of the Scout Oath, and Law through advancement and adventure!
Boy Scouting is available to boys who have earned the Arrow of Light Award in Cub Scouts and are at least 10 years old, or who have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10, or who are 11, but not yet 18 years old. The program achieves the Boy Scouts of America’s objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness.
If you would like to join our troop or know more about us, please browse around our web site. We have developed a rather detailed packet of troop information including how to join in our Troop 653 Welcome Handbook. Also, use the Contact Page link to get in touch with one of our leaders, or come visit us on a Monday night!
