Welcome to
troop 272
Welcome to Troop 272 of Milford Michigan! Troop 272 was founded in 2007.
Like most Boy Scout troops, Troop 272 is based on the Patrol Method. Each patrol has its own cooking gear, stove and accessories provided by the troop. Each boy is responsible for his own personal camping gear including a tent.
Personal camping gear does not have to be overly expensive. See our standard list of gear needed for a weekend campout. Although not significantly more, there are some addition items needed for summer camp. Gear and clothing for a winter campout will be explained to the boys before going on such an adventure. A sleeping bag rated to 0 degrees is a good investment.
Troop 272's program emphasizes year-round camping starting with a week long summer camp and continuing through the year with generally a campout per month with the exception of the busy month of December. January's campout is generally the ever popular "Electronics Weekend" and is held in a cabin. This is the only campout where boys are allowed to bring electronics of any kind.
Rank Advancement is done at each boy's pace in the troop. With the large contingent of adult leadership in the troop, boys who have an interest in learning or demonstrating a skill for a rank requirement have ample opportunity to do so at campouts and regularly scheduled meetings.
Year-round camping Program - Troop 272 maintains a pre-planned year-round program. The dates and places of our campouts can always be found on our online calendar.
Merit Badges - While boys are always welcome to look up and call any merit badge counselor within the district/council, Troop 272 does have several merit badge counselors within the troop who can be utilized. A great resource for additional detailed information can be found HERE
