Troop 311
A youth-led troop where scouts plan their own adventures, grow into confident leaders, and chase the trail to Eagle.
Scouts BSA Summer Camp at Camp Birch
Sunday, June 14 – Saturday, June 20, 2026
Scout-led adventure with real responsibility.
Troop 311 is a co-ed Scouts BSA troop welcoming youth ages 11–17 (or 5th-grade graduates). Following the merger of Troop 113 with Troop 311, our troop now provides a single, vibrant home for all scouts in the Springfield area to learn, lead, and grow together.
Our scouts plan and run their own program: monthly campouts, service projects, summer camp, high-adventure treks, and the personal journey toward Eagle Scout. Adult leaders coach from the sidelines — the scouts drive the experience.
Rank by rank, scouts rise.
Each rank is a step in skill, leadership, and character.
Advancement builds the scout. Leadership lets them lead.
Positions a scout can hold.
Troop 311 is youth-led. Scouts are elected or appointed to real leadership roles — gaining experience that shapes them for life.
The adults behind the adventure.
Our trained, background-checked volunteers coach from the sidelines while the scouts lead the way.
Your scout's next adventure starts with a single meeting.
Drop in any week to meet the troop, talk with our leaders, and see scout-led Scouting in action. No commitment — just bring your curiosity.
