There's an open spot for you!
Troop 2338 is a "right sized" boys' troop for any interested Scout or Scouter. We have two patrols of Scouts, and our youth are evenly distrubuted from ages 11-17. All of our boys are "Friendly," "Courteous," and eager to meet someone new. Our adult membership is strong, with experienced Scoutmasters, a full Committee, and enthusiastic parents. You will not be alone when starting out in Troop 2338, and we are proud to recommend ourselves as the perfect troop for anyone who is new to Scouting.
We take new members all year, but perhaps you are interested in meeting us first. Sometimes we're tough to pin down, since we're always out and about. But when we're not camping or out in the community, we meet at our charter site in Georgetown, Texas. We're always glad to have you join. Check our calendar and show up anytime.
Normal meetings: Mondays, 7:00 pm
Meeting place: 5404 Williams Drive, Georgetown, Texas
You can also contact us directly by email:
