Welcome to Troop 437! Proudly sponsored by American Legion post 437 in Westford Massachusetts.

Are you an Arrow of Light scout looking for a Scout Troop to cross over to? or maybe you are new to Scouting and want a great Troop to join?

Either way, Troop 437 welcomes all youth to come and experience the adventure of scouting! Visit one of our meetings to experience what Scouting is all about and what makes Troop 437 a great Scout Troop.

We meet every Thursday evening when school is in session. Meetings start at 7:00 pm at the American Legion Post 437 at 114 Dunstable Road.

Annual Troop Dues - Due by September 25th

Posted on Sep 10 2025 - 7:41pm

Message:

The Troop dues for the new scout year are $30 per scout. These dues help cover the operating costs of the Troop including awards, supplies, and other expenses in running the Scouting program.

Please submit your dues on or before Thursday, September 25th. Payments can be made via Venmo, check, or cash.

Please note: Scouting America (BSA) is starting to collect registration fees for Scouting America membership directly from families - the Troop will no longer be handling the national membership fees.

Troop 437 does not want any Scout or adult to miss out on anything Scouting has to offer due to an inability to pay. If any fee is a hardship for your family, please reach out to one of the Scoutmasters, Committee Chair, or Troop Treasurer to discuss available options. Any requests will be kept completely confidential.

Welcome to a new Scout year!
