Troop 97 FAQ

Question #7—Can girls join Troop 97?

YES! Troop 97 has welcomed girls since 2019 (when BSA first opened Scout troops to girls), and one of our Scouts was the first female Scout in Larimer County to earn the Eagle Scout award. As of 2024, Troop 97 is part of the national BSA 'Combined Troop Pilot Program', testing the best ways to offer the adventure of Scouting to girls and boys in the same troop. We meet weekly, camp monthly, perform service projects, go backpacking, canoeing, cycling,... You get to share adventures with the other Scouts that you can't get anywhere else. And if you want to earn the Eagle Scout award, that's an option, too.

We need parents who want to be involved with their daughters in Scouting (all adult positions are open to both men & women, but BSA requires at least one registered female adult on any activity involving girls). If you want to find out more, contact us to find out our schedule for upcoming meetings and outings!
