Troop 503 Merrill, WI

Troop 503 Merrill, WI BSA Troop 503 is chartered by VFW Post 1638 in the Northwoods District of the Samoset Council.

Troop 503 is a "boy lead" Troop, meaning activies are planned and led by the scouts with assistance from leaders and parents acting as advisors. Troop 503 is a very active multi-seasonal, outdoor oriented, adventure seeking, educational Troop. Our Troop goals are to provide: at least one activity per month, an outstanding weeklong summer camp experience at Tesomas Scout Camp, and at least one high

adventure trip every two years for eligible scouts. The Scoutmaster and his assistants are an experienced crew of adults who spend their weeknights and weekends providing leadership and guidance to the boys in the scouting program. Individuals must successfully pass a Council Administrative Background Check in order to become a leader.

Mount Baldy Conquered! 🏔️

Today, Brian and Matthew accomplished something truly special—a father and son reaching the summit of Mount Baldy at Philmont Scout Ranch! Standing at 12,441 feet above sea level, Mount Baldy is not only the highest peak at Philmont, but also the highest peak in the Cimarron Range.

This iconic trek is more than just reaching the top—it’s about perseverance, teamwork, and creating lifelong memories together. We couldn’t be more proud of these two for taking on the challenge and representing Troop 503 with determination and Scout spirit.

Congratulations, Brian and Matthew, on an incredible achievement and an unforgettable father-and-son adventure. Here’s to the memories made and the trails still to come!

⚜️ Troop 503 is proud of you!

🇺🇸 Flag of the Day – A National Jamboree Tradition 🇺🇸

One of the meaningful traditions at the National Jamboree is our Flag of the Day recognition.

This year, Troop 3334 is proud to fly a special America 250 Betsy Ross Flag, commemorating our nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary. Each day, this flag flies over our campsite. At the end of the day, the youth leadership selects one Scout who best exemplifies the ideals of the Scout Oath and Scout Law—someone who goes above and beyond by being exceptionally helpful, kind, courteous, and a positive example for everyone around them.

🇺🇸 Our first Flag of the Day recipient for July 23, 2026, is Joey!

Joey’s positive attitude, willingness to help others, and outstanding Scout spirit made him a clear choice for this honor.

Congratulations, Joey! Thank you for representing the very best of Scouting and setting the example for our troop. We can’t wait to recognize more outstanding Scouts throughout our National Jamboree adventure!
