Home School Scout Troops

[txscoutdad]

Hi,

Just found this board.

I'm a new ASM with a 13yo Tenderfoot Scout in a troop that is chartered through a Home School Ass.

The troop went camping in Central Texas with a group of other Home Schooled troops. First time for us to do this and I didn't get to go this weekend. This got me to thinking about how many other troops across this country might also be chartered through like associations? Do you belong to a troop or do you know of any other troops in your Districts that are chartered though a Home School Association.

I've enjoyed reading all of the posts that I have read so far and the information offered.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hello, TX! Welcome to the forums.

 

I'll find out how many troops/packs/crews are chartered by home school associations if you'll send me a private message reminding me on Monday of next week. I won't be able to tell you where they are, but only how many.

 

You can private message me by clicking on the green bar to the left of my post that says "send private message."

 

Others may be able to help you in your quest to find them in local councils.

 

I for one have been trying to start them for several years with some success.

 

I would guess that there are hundreds or more.

Welcome TXscoutdad,

 

My district just started its first home schooled Cub Scout pack. As of now it appears it'll have a troop next March.

 

I don't know much about it, so I can't offer much accept to say we have a unit.

TXscoutdad,

Welcome to the forums. I am homeschooled, but not a member of a homeschool troop. My homeschool group just started a Cub Scout pack, but no troop yet. I don't know the pack number, but they are chartered to Greater Griffin Christian Home Educators in Griffin Georgia.

My son 8, currently attends a Christian School. We live in Lakewood Colorado, and the homeschooled pack he belongs to is moving to far for us to be able to take him any longer. He really enjoys going and it's a Christian based pack. Does anyone know of another pack located in the Lakewood area? I would really appreciate any info. anybody could give.

 

Thank You
