Welcome to BSA Girls Troop 678 - Mercer Island, WA, established February 2019!

For the first time in 100+ years of Scouting history, girls are now able to join BSA! The historic move means girls, just like boys, now get to experience the values-based, life-changing, Instagram-worthy moments offered in all of Scouting’s programs — from Cub Scouting all the way to Scouting’s highest honor, the rank of Eagle Scout.

Interested in joining in our inaugural year as a founder or just want some information to think about it? Send us an email: infotroop678@gmail for more information and/or join us at our weekly meeting set every Tuesday 7:15 - 8:30 PM, except for non-school days.

Troop eBlast is finally back!

Hello Troop 678 families,

Summer is here! With your huge support and active involvement, the troop had a wonderful year in 2022-23 and successfully wrapped up all regular events for this year. During the summer break, we'll have several summer activities, including Camp Parsons camp, Philmont backpacking trips, Whitewater Rafting, NYLT training, etc. However, please note that there will be no regular troop meetings or committee meetings during the summer. For any urgent matters, please contact the acting Scoutmaster, Jerry Frost, at jsfrost@yahoo.com and the committee chair, Namhee, at namhee33@gmail.com. For any questions relating to summer activities, you'll need to contact the activity leaders directly.
