Welcome to Troop 6 Columbus Georgia
The Scouting program of Troop 6 operates year-round. Camping and outdoor-related activities are a priority, with at least one outing per month while participating in various community service and activities throughout the year. Through Scouting, Troop 6 is helping prepare our citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
Troop 6, acting under its charter to Trinity Episcopal Church, has delivered the promise of a values-based, character-building, boy-led Boy Scout program to scores of young men since 1933, making us the oldest, continually chartered Boy Scout Troop in the Muskogee District of the Chattahoochee Council. Our Scout Hut in Dinglewood Park is the only remaining one of its kind that was built by scouts and adult volunteers in the 1930's.
The Troop meets every Tuesday 7:00 PM—8:30 PM @ our Scout Hut (1500 13th Street)

Why Scouting?
For more than 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.
The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities that allow them to
Try new things.
Provide service to others.
Build self-confidence.
Reinforce ethical standards.
While various activities and youth groups teach basic skills and promote teamwork, Scouting goes beyond that and encourages youth to achieve a deeper appreciation for service to others in their community.
Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals. It is communicated to them that those in the Scouting family care about what happens to them, regardless of whether a game is won or lost.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Scouting promotes activities that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.
Since 1910, Scouting has helped mold the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes and, through more than a century of experience, understands that helping youth puts us on a path toward a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
Scouting, with programs for young men and women, helps meet these six essential needs of the young people growing up in our society:
Mentoring
Lifelong Learning
Faith Traditions
Serving Others
Healthy Living
Building Character
Troop 6 follows all of the principles of scouting in how we operate as a Troop. This means that all scouts and adult volunteers commit to following:
