About Us
Troop Meetings
Monday evenings downstairs at the Tualatin Presbyterian Church at 7:15 pm. During the summer, troop meetings are held at the Tualatin City Park, Train Trestle, starting at 7:00pm. Please check Troop Calendar for current schedule.
Activities
Troop 530 activities include: summer camping, winter camping, and monthly camping trips (except December), backpacking, rocket launching on the Oregon Coast, hiking, horseback riding and more. The troop program is what the Scouts decide at their planning meetings. Additional activities, such as bowling, skiing, biking, rifle shooting, climbing, caving, canoeing and others are scheduled in as time allows. We strive to be a very active troop!
What You'll Learn
Scouts have fun and learn responsibility, communication, leadership, service to and respect for others, and other life skills. Scouting helps a boy grow and understand self-reliance and the importance of cooperation and community. The Scout Oath and Law are the basis of this learning process.
Come Join Us
Youth, ages 11 to 17 are welcome to join Scouts BSA and be a part of our troop. You are welcome to visit us at any meeting. Please check in by speaking to any adult who is wearing a uniform, we'll introduce you to the Senior Patrol Leader, and he'll introduce to the Troop.

This is a choice the Scout should make for himself, since after all he is his own best judge of what fits with his ambition, and what works with his learning style. Here are a couple of publications that can assist you with that:
