Boy Scout Troop 37 is a youth run organization with adult mentoring. The troop is located in a rural area of Amherst County at the
foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is chartered to Elon Presbyterian Church. Any boy between the ages of 11 and 17 years of age
is welcome to join regardless of race, religion, or creed . Our program strives to achieve the Aims of Scouting: character
development, citizenship training, and mental & personal fitness. We do this through the "Methods of Scouting" which include: the
ideals (scout oath and law, motto & slogan), the patrol method, the outdoors, advancement, association with adults, personal growth,
leadership development and the uniform. We meet every Tuesday night in the fellowship hall of Elon Presbyterian Church from 7:00
until 8:30 PM.
In August of 1997 with 8 youth the troop was reactivated. Currently we have twenty registered scouts. In the few short years the
troop has been active, fourteen young men have earned the rank of Eagle Scout and several scouts are Eagle candidates, whom will
soon be working on service projects throughout their community.
The troop is in the Piedmont District of the Blue Ridge Mountains Council of the Boys Scouts of America. The Piedmont District
serves the youth of Amherst, Appomattox, Campbell, Charlotte, Halifax, county, the city of Lynchburg, a part of Bedford, Nelson
and Pittsylviana Counties in Virginia.
Troop 37 has a history of going in and out of Council for Summer Camp each year on a rotating bases and is involved in other
district and council activities.
Boys whom are in grades one through five or age 6 through 10 have their own grade level appropriate program called Cub Scouting.
