Our Events Calendar
Overview
Scouts BSA Troop 641, Scouts BSA Troop 8641, and Venture Crew 641 share in common:
- Location: Bellevue, WA
- Sponsor: St Louise Parish Church
- District/Council: are part of the Lake Shores District in the Chief Seattle Council of Boy Scouts of America
- Philosophy: developing youth to become outstanding citizens through activities that help them grow their practical knowledge, leadership skills, and self-reliance
Both Scouts BSA Troops meet Monday evenings at 7 PM at St Louise. The Crew meets twice a month. All groups try to have an outing at least once a month. The Crew plans for two major outings each year - usually in late December and July or August.
Our sponsoring organization is a Catholic parish, but we are totally non-denominational - both in principle and in accordance with the rules of Boy Scouts of America. We include Scouts who live throughout the greater Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and Renton area.
