The Boy Scouts of America's mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Scouts can have fun on high-adventure trips, while advancing through the program and gaining important life skills.
Troop 503 was founded in 1917, only seven years after the scouting movement was brought to the United States from England. Our troop is one of the oldest in the country. It has conferred the rank of Eagle Scout on more than 130 boys over the last century. Our troop is a community of youth that is focused on leadership, learning, and having lots of fun! We are a very active and adventurous troop and we meet every Tuesday at 7:30 pm when Winchester Public Schools are in session. During meetings, we are always busy planning for upcoming trips, working on Merit Badges, learning new skills, and playing games. We have a different trip every month, ranging from white-water canoeing to backpacking in the breathtaking White Mountains. For more information on our trips, visit our trips page.
