Welcome to the online home of Troop 53, Aurora, IL

If you are a Webelos Scout looking for a boy scout troop, you've found it! You're welcome to visit any of our regular Troop meetings on Monday nights at 7:00 and find out more about the exciting things we do in Troop 53. The Boy Scouts of Troop 53 enjoy canoeing, hiking, biking, fishing, camping, rank advancement and earning merit badges, just to name a few.

Our weekly meetings are a place to learn, have fun and plan for our monthly outings. Our favorite outings are summer camp and the winter cabin campout.

Troop 53 is a boy-run Troop which began during the early 1990's. Thanks to the strong support team of parents and leaders, we have produced many Eagle Scouts, the highest rank in scouting. The boy scouts of Troop 53 are represented by Annunciation School, Holy Angels School, Jefferson and Jewel middle schools, Freeman, Hall, St. Rita School, as well as Aurora Central, Marmion and West High.

Troop 53 Scouts have participated in many projects including Eagle projects that helped clean up and support wildlife efforts of Kane County Forest Preserves, recycling oil and paint products and efforts to provide flags to many of the public and parochial schools in Aurora.
