30+ Years

Troop 247 is a Scouts BSA troop that has been scouting out of Norcross First United Methodist Church since 1983. That's over 30 years scouting in Norcross, Georgia. We are very grateful for the continued support of the church as we mold boys into men, and teach them to lead each other.

We meet on Monday nights @ 7:00 p.m. in the Scout Hut on the church property.

We are always ready to talk to you about joining the ranks of the Boy Scouts of America.

Troop 247 is made up of boys from 6^th to 12^th grade, but if you have a younger boy, Norcross First UMC might be able to serve your scouting needs for them, too: Cub Scout Pack 247 meets in the church building on the same night and at the same time as our Boy Scouts. Come check us out:

	Scout Troop 247	Monday nights	7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
	Cub Scout Pack 247	Monday nights	7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

"No school, no Scouts"

"No school, no Scouts" refers to the Gwinnett County Public Schools schedule. If GCPS is off of school, Scouts don't meet. This rule is nearly 100% true for Cub Scouts (Pack 247). Boy Scouts have a less-predictable schedule. Our nights off have more to do with our camp-out schedule than with school. However, we are off for most Gwinnett County Public School holidays, and don't meet during the big, travel holidays. If we do meet on a holiday evening, it is typically more fun-and-games oriented and less work is accomplished.

We hope to see you this Monday night!
