Troop 577 Blog

The M577 Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) is a troop transport used by the United States Colonial Marine Corps in movie Aliens. The M577 evolved from the Marine 70 battlefield deployment strategy, which proposed a requirement for a low-cost lightweight APC capable of being transported into combat aboard the UD-4L Cheyenne Dropship. Troop 577 has been around for 30 years, serving the boys in the Upper Dublin area. We are based at the Thomas Fitzwater Elementary School. To date, this troop has prepared 47 Eagle Scouts.

Who We Are

Troop 507 is a Boy Led Troop that has been chartered since 1980. Troop 507 is chartered through Angus Acres Church in Sand Springs, OK. Troop 507’s mission is to provide opportunities for young men to have a fun, challenging, supportive and exciting Scouting experience.

Achieving the Mission

Active, enthusiastic scouts supported by involved and supportive parents in an outdoor based boy run program that holds the scouts interest. We encourage the scouts to advance in rank so they have the skills to enjoy the opportunities presented, but not at the expense of fun.

The Patrol Method

This is the heart and soul of Troop 507. The patrol method gives Scouts an experience in group living and participating citizenship. It places a certain amount of responsibility on young shoulders and teaches boys how to accept it.

The patrol method allows Scouts to act in small groups where they can easily relate to each other. These small groups determine Troop activities through their elected representatives.

After boys cross over to Scouts BSA, the emphasis changes from an adult run program to a boy led, adult supervised program. This transition is often harder on the adult leaders and parents than for the Scouts.

The adult leaders and parents are there to guide the boys and help them develop a sense of independence and leadership skills. A good rule of thumb is to never do what a boy can do for himself. If he can’t do it, then teach him so he can do it next time.

Outings

  • Camping – Monthly camping for the troop
  • Summer Camp – each year Troop 507 goes to a week long summer camp
  • High Adventure – activities for scouts 14yrs and older and Star rank
