WELCOME!
Set yourself down at our virtual campfire!
Troop 505, "The Prairie Troop", was chartered in 1964 and has been a continuously active troop in Naperville, Illinois, a southwestern suburb of Chicago, since its inception.
We are chartered by
Knox Presbyterian
Church, located at the corner of Gartner Road and Catalpa Lane in Naperville, Illinois.
Many boys have graduated from the troop with the skills, values and self-confidence necessary to guide them through their entire adult
life. Troop 505 has awarded over 141 Scouts their Eagle rank, the highest rank a Boy Scout can attain.
The values we and the Boy Scouts of America strive to instill are based on those found in the Scout Oath and Law.
For further information about joining Troop 505, please click on Information Request or phone our Scoutmaster,
Eric Claeys, at sm"@"troop505.org
or Committee Chairman, Eric Reishus, at (630) 420-1485.

Celebrating 100 Years -
For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has created a strong foundation of leadership, service, and community for millions of America's youth. Through A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference, we will demonstrate the incredible impact of a century of living the Scout Law.
Program participants will earn recognition for making a difference in their communities due to their dedication to five of Scouting's core values: Leadership, Character, Community Service, Achievement, and the Outdoors. Through that commitment, participants can earn each of five award ribbons to display from our 100th Anniversary commemorative patch.
A Year of Celebration will take place from September 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. The program is open to all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, adult leaders, and Scouting alumni.
