What is a scout?

Hi! Welcome to our page! This webpage was created as a resource not only for our troop, but for other troops and scouters. Our website features various links about scouting and merit badges, information about ranks, and events in Ohio and on the web. We are constantly improving our website. Do you have any questions? Any comments? E-mail us at troop700@hotmail.com. We'd love to hear from you! Don't forget to sign the guestbook before you leave!

Troop 700 was started in 1964 by our chartering organization, The Westerville Civitan Club. This is a civic and service club that has ownership of the troop to help fulfill aims and goals for the development of youth. The Civitan Club provides the troop with a meeting place, leaders and guidance.

Every Scout is encouraged to attend as many meetings and activities as possible to get the most from the Scouting Experience. The Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmasters, Troop Committee, and the Patrol Leader's Council devote many hours throughout the year to plan enjoyable and meaningful activities for the troop.

Troop 700 is not just a Scout Troop; it is volunteers who lead, and parents who support their Scouts. Being a member of the troop means that your Scout needs to take part in meetings, planning activities, and to help make the troop a success.
