About Our Troop
Troop 997 is a part of the Boone-Trails District of the Greater St. Louis Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

Guided by experienced leaders and supported by a strong sense of camaraderie, our Scouts learn to face challenges, help others, and lead with integrity. Whether you’re new to Scouting or continuing your journey, our troop offers a welcoming environment to grow, explore, and succeed.
