About Boy Scouts

The American Association of Singapore is proud to sponsor Troop 07 of the Boy Scouts of America. Troop 07 meets Tuesday evenings at The American School and holds outings around South Asia several times a year as well as our annual “summer camp” during Spring Break.

Through Scouting, Scouts learn life skills such as leadership, responsibility and self-confidence while having fun. Troop 07 is a boy led unit with adult leader direction. Empowering boys to be leaders is the core of Scouting.

Check out the latest troop activities at: www.bsatroop07.com

Open to all male US Citizens and males of other nationalities attending international schools, aged 11-18. Older males and females may join as adult volunteers.

This pack meets monthly at the Singapore American School but has boys from many of the international schools in Singapore as members. Dens (smaller groups of 6-8 boys meet regularly to learn Scouting ways and fulfill badge and rank requirements.

Registration is open to all boys in Grades 1 through 5, and to any boys of the same age attending any school in Singapore. See www.scouts3017.com for more info.
