Troop 123 has always been one of the most active Boy Scout Troops in the Chief Seattle Council.  As you can see from the above photos, Troop 123 has sailed the San Juan Islands, and retraced the foot steps of Lewis and Clark.  Click our "Past Events" page for a list of some our other recent Troop 123 activities,  See our "Troop Calendar" page for a list of future events.

Our Scout members live as far south as Shilshole Avenue in Ballard, as far north as 144th Avenue North, east to Green Lake, and west to Puget Sound.  If you are a boy that is 10½ years old and have completed the fifth grade, or 11 years old,  and are not yet 18 years of age, then come join us for fun and adventure.


Scouting for Every Boy!  Troop 123 is committed to providing the best possible Scouting opportunity for every boy regardless of his circumstances.  Talk with our Scoutmaster if limited resources ever prevent you or your son from participating  in any Scouting event, because Troop 123 has confidential Scouting scholarships.
