Boy Scout Troop 64: Welcome
Troop 64 is chartered by First United Methodist Church, located at 201 John Wesley Boulevard in Bossier City, Louisiana and has been continuously active since March 1977.
We meet from 6:30 until 8:00 pm on Mondays in the Fellowship Hall. Our goal is to follow along with the Mission of the Boy Scouts of America by preparing the Scouts in our Troop to make ethical and moral choices throughout their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
While we do not specifically focus on any rank or activity, we do provide a program that will allow our Scouts to earn both rank and merit badges naturally while learning valuable leadership and life skills.
We conduct many activities throughout the year, including backpacking in both the Spring and Fall.
