Welcome to Troop 1366, a Scout-led troop serving youth in the Lee’s Summit, Missouri area.
Troop 366 gives Scouts the opportunity to experience the outdoors, develop leadership skills, serve their community, learn practical skills, build lasting friendships, and take on challenges that help prepare them for life beyond Scouting.
From weekend campouts and high-adventure activities to service projects, Courts of Honor, summer camp, and the journey toward Eagle Scout, our Scouts are encouraged to take ownership of their Scouting experience.
Adults provide guidance, support, and safety. Scouts do the leading.

Scouts Lead. Adults Support.
Scouts Lead. Adults Support.
One of the most important parts of the Scouts program is learning how to lead.
At Troop 366, Scouts are given opportunities to plan activities, lead meetings, organize campouts, teach other Scouts, make decisions, solve problems, and take responsibility for their patrol and troop.
Adult leaders are there to provide safety, guidance, coaching, and support. The goal is to give Scouts the opportunity to learn by doing.
Leadership isn't something we simply talk about.
It's something Scouts practice.

The Scout-Led Troop Experience
The Scout-Led Troop Experience
What does "Scout-led" actually mean?
What does "Scout-led" actually mean?
It means Scouts have a voice and responsibility. As Scouts progress through the program, they have opportunities to:
Lead their fellow scouts
Plan and run activities
Teach younger Scouts
Hold troop leadership positions
Help plan campouts
Make decisions
Solve problems
Practice communication
Mentor other Scouts
Serve their community
Adult leaders are here to help Scouts learn. Sometimes that means allowing a Scout to try something, make a mistake, learn from it, and try again. It's part of the process.
The goal is to help scouts build the leadership and confidence to see what needs to be done and step up to do it.
Advancement & the Path to Eagle
Advancement & the Path to Eagle
The Scouting America program gives young people a framework for setting goals and challenging themselves.
Scouts work towards 7 ranks:
Scout
Tenderfoot
Second Class
First Class
Star
Life
Eagle Scout
Along the way, Scouts work on requirements, merit badges, leadership, service, personal development, and outdoor skills.
For Scouts who choose to pursue it, Eagle Scout is the highest rank in the Scouting program and represents years of growth, leadership, service, and personal achievement.
But advancement isn't a race. And every Scout's path is different.
Our goal is to help each Scout continue moving forward, challenge themselves, and become more capable and confident along the way.
Leadership Opportunities
Leadership Opportunities
Troop 366 provides Scouts with opportunities to practice leadership in real situations.
Depending on their experience and interests, Scouts may serve in positions such as:
Senior Patrol Leader
Assistant Senior Patrol Leader
Patrol Leader
Assistant Patrol Leader
Quartermaster
Scribe
Den Chief
Leadership positions aren't simply titles. It is an opportunity for Scouts to plan, communicate, make decisions, work with others, and take responsibility for the success of the troop.
Community Service
Community Service
Scouting is also about giving back.
Troop 366 Scouts participate in service projects that allow them to contribute to their schools, community, churches, veterans, and other organizations.
This includes:
Spending Memorial Day weekend placing flags on the graves of service men and women at Fort Leavenworth and Jefferson Barrack National Cemeteries.
Cleaning up parks around Lee's Summit.
Supporting schools such as Bernard Campbell Middle School, Underwood Elementary, Meadow Lane Elementary, and Hazel Grove Elementary
Supporting our communities: ColdWater Food & Clothing Pantary
Eagle Scout Projects: A Scout planned and led service project that benefits a community organization or other worthy cause.
Who Can Join Troop 366?
Who Can Join Troop 366?
Troop 366 welcomes boys and girls, between the ages of 10 and 17, who are ready to go on adventures, meet new friends, and have fun.
Some of our scouts have completed the Cub Scouting program, others started their scouting journey with the Troop.
You don't need to be an outdoorsman or expert camper.
You don't need to know how to tie every knot.
That's what Scouting is for.
Join us and learn new skills, test yourself, and make amazing memories and new friends.
Coming From Cub Scouts?
Coming From Cub Scouts?
Are you currently in Cub Scouts and preparing to take the next step?
Many of the scouts in Troop 1366 were Cub Scouts themselves, advancing through the ranks with Cub Scout Pack 4366.
Now, these scouts are taking the experience even further with greater independence, responsibility, and leadership.
The transition from Cub Scout to Scouts is an exciting milestone—but you don't have to come from Pack 366 to join us.
Troop 366 welcomes all Cub Scouts looking to continue their Scouting journey.

Ready for the Next Adventure?
Ready for the Next Adventure?
Your son or daughter is going to grow up. The question is what will they do with these critical years in their development.
At Troop 366, Scouts have the opportunity to spend those years learning skills, leading others, serving their community, exploring the outdoors, overcoming challenges, and building friendships that can last a lifetime.
They won't always get it right. They'll learn from mistakes. And they'll discover that they're capable of more than they thought. That's the adventure of Scouts.
Come see what Troop 366 is all about. Contact our Scoutmaster, Chris Becker, to schedule a visit and learn more.
