Our Story

Boy Scout Troop 27 of Fox Island, Washington was founded in November 2007, by Eagle Scout and former member of Tacoma’s Troop 27; John Ohlson. It is sponsored by the Fox Island Community and Recreation Association. We now have 25 boys aged 10 1/2 to 16 years old. We are a 'High Adventure' unit, committed to doing at least one outdoor adventure every month. The Troop was voted 'Troop of the Year' in the Tacoma/Gig Harbor area in 2008, and we have earned the Quality Unit or Journey to Excellence Gold Award for the past 10 years in a row; for excellence in program, advancement, youth retention and trained leadership. Steven Hubbs is our current Scoutmaster. He can be reached at 360-271-3761, or submit a request to reach him by email. We have 3 Assistant Scoutmasters and six additional Committee Members in our troop leadership. Founding Scoutmaster John Ohlson was named 'Scoutmaster of the Year' in 2008, and is the recipient of the Silver Beaver Award. We meet twice a month on the second & third Monday of the month, and go on one outdoor outing a month; usually camping, hiking, biking or some other cool adventure. We have a strong focus on youth leadership and advancement, with a motto of 'Building Tomorrow's Leaders' as our guide. We participate in a wide variety of outdoor activities, including Camping, Backpacking, Hiking, Mountain Biking, Canoeing, Rowing, Climbing, Swimming, Archery, Rifle Shooting, Snow Camping, Survival Training, and much much more. In November, 2010, Venture Crew 27 was formed, for older boys and girls, ages 14 - 21 years old. In February, 2019 Scouts BSA Troop 727 for girls was formed. Don't miss out on all the fun!
