"It is easy to become a scout, but it's not always easy to be a scout."

Welcome to Troop 72!

We are a traditional lightweight backpacking unit that emphasizes personal growth through Scouting and leadership skills development. We camp outdoors year round and offer age and experience appropriate adventure opportunities for Scouts ranging from canoeing the Namekagon river and the BWCA, or winter trekking in the BWCA to backpacking through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of the Rockies at the Philmont Scout Ranch.   Checkout our photo and video galleries to get a visual of what we do.

Is Troop 72 a Good Fit?

We give every Scout time to grow and develop in character, citizenship, fitness and leadership, all while experiencing outdoor adventures.

Because all troops are not the same, it is important to learn about each troop in your area to decide which is the best fit for your son.  Please review the About Us page to learn more about Troop 72.  If you are currently a  Webelos Scout, take a look at our Webelos Territory page for a little extra information.  Cub Scouting is not a requirement for joining the Boy Scouts, only interest. 

If you like what you see, go to our Join Us  page to see how to take your next step, or contact us

Give your son a valuable gift by encouraging him to join Boy Scouting today. The time you invest in him today will make a difference in the person he becomes tomorrow.

Boy Scout Troop 9072 (abbreviated at Troop 72) is chartered by Christ Episcopal Church of Woodbury, MN.
