Welcome to Boy Scout Troop 783 in Rolling Hills Estates, California. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your future in Troop 783.
Please note that Troop 783 caps our membership at 100 scouts. We accept applications for new scouts and transfers starting on November 1 of each year. Please note that we do not accept applications at any other time. We usually fill our available spots by February each year or sooner. There will be 3 meetings for scouts and parents to see our new scout presentation. Each potential scout and his parent is expected to visit a troop meeting before making an application. Application packets are distributed during this troop visit. Scout and parents are encouraged to come to a second or third meeting to be around and get the feel of the troop and the meetings.
