Cub Scout Troop 1053
Ages 10 to 17 • Grades 5th to 12th
AN ATHENS 53 UNIT
Welcome To Troop 1053
We challenge Scouts to grow through hands-on adventure, leadership, and real responsibility. From weekly meetings to campouts, service projects, and high-adventure experiences, Scouts build confidence, teamwork, and character by doing—not watching. Here, every Scout has a role to play.
Scouts Experience
Strong Teams
Scouts join a youth-led Troop where they build strong friendships, take on leadership roles, and learn to rely on each other. Through the patrol method, every Scout is part of a team, and every voice matters.
Real-World Adventure
From campouts and backpacking trips to service projects and high-adventure, Scouts take on real challenges. They plan, lead, and learn by doing, developing skills that go far beyond the outdoors.
Leadership That Lasts
Scouts build confidence through leadership, responsibility, and problem-solving. As they grow, they take ownership of their path, gaining the skills and character that prepare them for life beyond Scouting.
