Scouting America Troop 763 is a Scout-led troop that meets outdoors year-round, most Sunday nights from 5:00-6:30 PM in the pavilion behind St. Anthony's Maronite Catholic Church on Sadler Rd in Glen Allen. Check Upcoming Events on the home page for weeks we don't meet.
Our history
The troop started in spring 1995 under a charter from the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, Lodge #45, and has been sponsored by St. Anthony's since 2022. Troops 720 and 736 both spun off from us.
How we run
Our scouts run the troop. They elect their own youth leaders, and the Patrol Leaders' Council plans our meetings, campouts and yearly calendar. Older scouts teach younger ones skills like cooking, first aid and navigation. Trained adult leaders coach, keep everyone safe and follow Youth Protection rules, then step back so scouts can lead and grow.
New scouts join an existing patrol and are mentored by older scouts, and most earn Scout rank at summer camp. We camp almost monthly, and our high adventure trips have included Philmont, Sea Base and Northern Tier, most recently an 80-mile Philmont trek in June 2026.
Getting started is easy: new scouts receive a troop neckerchief, woggle, unit patch and activity shirt, and our uniform trunk of donated uniforms helps keep costs down. One annual BBQ fundraiser keeps troop dues low and funds each scout's account for campouts and summer camp.
