Troop 73 is based out of Andover, Massachusetts and is the oldest troop in town. Our troop consists of Troop 73 B (Boys) and Troop 73 G (Girls) Both groups have separate scout and adult leaders but work closely together to plan fun activities for the entire troop. Within 73 B and G are different scout-led patrols.
As a troop we attend do fun things such as attend Camp Wanocksett yearly during the summer, and go on trips to Philmont every couple of years. We meet every Thursday from 7:00-8:30 P.M. at South Church, at 41 Central Street, Andover. Our meetings usually consist of rank advancement, trip planning, community service, hikes, or fun activities such as races or Inchworm! We have a lot of fun at Troop 73 and we enjoy what we do. |

Leadership in Troop 73:
Troop 73 is proud to be a scout-lead troop. Twice a year, we elect a new Senior Patrol Leader (SPL), who takes charge and guides troop meetings. They choose an Assistant Senior Patrol Leader (ASPL), who is the right-hand man of the SPL. Together, the SPL and ASPL choose the other positions of responsibility like the webmaster, guide, and quartermaster, with the scoutmaster. The SPL is also in charge of the Patrol Leaders, who get elected by their patrols twice a year. The Patrol Leaders, SPL, and ASPL work together to plan trips and meetings once a month at a Patrol Leaders Conference. One of the great parts of scouting is the leadership experience you gain as you work your way up to Eagle. |
