Meetings:

Troop 530 meets on Tuesdays at 6:45 at West Towne Christian Church in Knoxville, Tennessee. Feel free to stop by any time. Please click here for directions.

Activities:

Troop 530 is a traditional B.S.A. unit. Our Troop has meetings every week and outings about once a month. You'll see Summer Camp, camporees, hiking, backpacking, white water rafting, dump camps, shooting sports, service projects and lots of other activities.

Advancement:

There's a lot to learn and we try to help. Advancement is tracked and reported using a specialized computer program. All members are encouraged to earn their Eagle, but we expect them to do it of their own will. We've had seven (7) Scouts earn their Eagle since 2007!

History:

Troop 530 has been a Troop since 1990. We've had many Scouts earn their Eagle badge. We also won the Spring Camporee Tower Award in 2006, which is earned by the patrol that has done the best overall in the camporee event competitions. We have been in the running for this award ever since.

West Towne Christian Church:

 We are very proud and thankful to our chartered organization, WTCC. WTCC and Troop 530 serves our immediate community in participation and our community at large through service and education.
