Troop 130 welcomes new scouts and parents!
We are an active, boy-led troop, ages 11-18, from a multitude of countries, which is passionate about Scouting ideals and having fun in beautiful Switzerland! We invite boys* to join in with one of our Scouting activities to try it out and meet the scouts, and for parents to meet the scoutmasters and other adults.

What do we do?
The Scouting America program involves advancement towards ranks that can demonstrate a Scout's commitment and application of the fundamentals of Scouting. For progression to each rank, a Scout will have to either demonstrate skills/knowledge on specific topics (i.e aquatics, cooking) or leadership.
What is the time commitment?

We understand that many of our scouts have schoolwork/other engagements that they might participate in outside of scouting. Each scout participates as much as he wishes; we are happy to see them for as much time as they have!

What do parents do?
Parents play a vital role in supporting the scouts in developing, managing, and carrying out the Troop plan each year. Parental involvement is key to maintaining the organization of the Troop as a chartered member of the Boy Scouts of America as well as providing adult role models and mentorship. We actively encourage all parents to volunteer to help the Troop either as Committee Members, Assistant Scoutmasters, Merit Badge Counselors, or just helping plan or escort some activities.
