Welcome to BSA Troop 130 Switzerland!



Troop 130 is a member of the Boy Scouts of America and welcomes all boys between 11 and 17 inclusive, regardless of nationality, language, religion, or which school they attend.

BSA, Boy Scouts of America (http://www.scouting.org), is one of America’s largest leadership training programs developing youth and preparing them in life skills for all facets of life, including: 
  • outdoor skills, 
  • environmental and citizenship responsibilities, 
  • health and safety, 
  • personal management and fitness, 
  • teamwork, 
  • community service 
  • and more.....
The World Scout Organization supports troops in countries worldwide, giving scouts a chance to learn and grow and become strong in the global network of scouting.
 
Our troop was founded in 1975, by George and Sylvia Thullen, who still hold the charter for our troop! Troop 130 is part of the Edelweiss District of the Trans-Atlantic Council (TAC), the European headquarters for the Boy Scouts of America. While English is the most actively spoken language of the Troop, a good understanding of the language is sufficient. The Troop typically has between 30 and 40 boys registered at any time, with varying backgrounds, ages and nationalities. 
 
Troop 130 aims to provide boys with camaraderie, fun, excitement as well as opportunities to develop new skills, through a wide Scouting experience that includes adventurous outdoor activities, leadership training, discovery and guidance. >Scouts are encouraged to advance to their full potential through the Scouting principles and advancement programs.


Our Troop meets every other Monday from 19h00 to 20h30 at the Chataignerie International School in Founex .
