About

Troop 335 is sponsored by All Saints Lutheran Church, located at 630 S. Quentin Road, Palatine, IL. Since its formation in 1978, the Troop has received many awards and honors on behalf of its Scouts and has proudly seen many of its members attain the highest rank in Scouting, Eagle Scout. Our Troop emphasizes rank advancement, leadership development, and the acquisition of Scouting skills in an atmosphere of fun, friendship, and adventure. All new Scouts are encouraged and supported in working toward the rank of First Class during their first year of Scouting. Over the years, Troop 335 has consistently earned the Quality Unit Award in recognition of its leadership, leader training, and Scout advancement.

In 2026, Troop 335 became a Family Troop, welcoming both boys and girls into our Scouting family. Building on our traditions since 1978, we continue to provide opportunities for all Scouts to develop leadership skills, build friendships, enjoy outdoor adventures, and pursue the rank of Eagle Scout. Our commitment to Scout-led activities, personal growth, and the values of Scouting remains unchanged.

The Troop meets every Monday evening (except during the summer months) at All Saints Lutheran Church from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. During the summer, meetings are generally held every other week, depending on the Troop's scheduled activities.

Troop 335 schedules monthly outings throughout the year, giving Scouts opportunities to practice outdoor skills, work on merit badges, and complete requirements for rank advancement. These activities also help Scouts develop teamwork, confidence, independence, and leadership skills. Our annual activities include a winter ski trip and a week-long summer camp at Owasippe Scout Reservation. Older Scouts also have opportunities to participate in High Adventure experiences, such as backpacking at Philmont Scout Ranch, sailing at Florida Sea Base, and outdoor adventures at the Summit Bechtel Reserve. Through these experiences, Troop 335 strives to help every Scout grow into a confident, responsible, and capable young leader while creating friendships and memories that last a lifetime.

Below is a link to our current Troop 335 Program Guide, which is regularly maintained and followed by our Troop. Our Troop has no secrets, and the guide contains all of the detailed information about our Troop that may not be fully covered (or covered in a general manner) in the official Scouting America literature. This guide is recommended to be read by Scouts and their parents.

Scouting Purpose

The purpose of the Scouting America, incorporated on February 8, 1910, and chartered by Congress in 1916, is to provide an educational program for boys and young adults to build character, to train in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and to develop personal fitness.

The leadership of Troop 335 firmly believe that Scout development through games and competition, living Scouting principles through example, and participating in Scout adventures and outings bring out the best in Scouting and in the Scout himself.
