Troop History

Troop 257 was formed in 1963, and is currently sponsored by Atonement Lutheran Church in Overland Park, KS. The troop’s size has grown to approximately 90 registered Scouts, which places it among the largest troops in the district. In fact, Troop 257 is one of the largest troops in the Kansas City area.

The troop currently has approximately 40 Scouts of senior rank (Eagle, Life and Star) and is proud to count over 120 Eagle Scouts as its alumni.

Who Can Join?

Although the troop is chartered by Atonement Lutheran, membership is open to boys aged 11 (or who have earned the Arrow of Light Award, or have completed 5th grade) through 17, of any faith, race or national origin, who believe in God and the ideals of the Scout Oath and Law.
