Scouts BSA Troop 303 - Wheaton/Warrenville, IL. Scouting is an Adventure! Find Yours with Troop 303. Troop 303 2024/2025 Calendar Our goal is to camp one weekend each month from September through May and attend one or two week-long summer camps. Troop 303 is a Scout-Led Troop. Scouts plan and lead their own campouts with some adult help. -- Developing Leaders and Problem Solvers Troop 303 formed in 1984. We serve youth from Wheaton, Warrenville and the surrounding communities. We currently have about 30 active scouts. As a veteran troop, we are proud of our achievements, and we invite you to be part of the fun. Troop 303 is a scout-run organization, which makes it a lot more fun. Using the patrol method, the scouts plan meetings, service projects and monthly campouts, including where we go and what we do once we get there. We plan “fun with a purpose” so that scouts can work on merit badges and rank advancements at our events. Troop 303 participates in multiple service projects within our local community. We have more than the national average of Eagle Scouts, yet our adult leaders let you move at your own pace. We hope to see you at one of our meetings, service projects or campouts! -- Meeting Location: Hope Presbyterian Church 1771 South Wiesbrook Road, Wheaton Across from Wheaton Warrenville South High School ---- Attendance: • We encourage active participation in the Troop 303 but believe Scouting is part of a balanced youth experience. • Scouts have varying interests and obligations and may not be able to attend all meetings and events. We’re happy to have your scout join us the rest of the time. Charter Organization: Warrenville Memorial VFW Post 8081 Eagle Scouts: Since 1985, Troop 303 has had 117 Scouts become Eagles. Nationally, 6% of all Scouts reached Eagle. By comparison, in recent years, almost 10% of Troop 303’s active scouts have attained Eagle. High Adventure: The experience of a lifetime! Each year, older scouts take high adventure trips to amazing places. We’ve attended Philmont in New Mexico, Sea Base in the Keys, Virgin Islands and Bahamas; Boundary Waters in Minnesota, and Cole Canoe Base in Michigan. We’ve even slept in igloos and gone dog sledding at Snow Base in northern Wisconsin!
