Welcome to Boy Scout Troop 511!

Welcome to Boy Scout Troop 511's web site. Boy Scout Troop 511 in Austin TX is sponsored by St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, and was founded in 1972. Over the years, we have had more than 170 young men become Eagle Scouts. We have a lovely outdoor program, including about 10 outdoor outings a year, summer camp and a high adventure trip for older Scouts. 

If you're interested in our troop, we encourage you to come visit us at one of our meetings! We meet every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in Huffman Hall on the St. Matthew's Episcopal Church campus. We love to have guests any time. Some meetings are more interesting for visitors to come to, so feel free to contact us if you're wondering which meeting would be best for you to come and check out Troop 511.

You can also request more information or sign up online!

Scoutmaster: Michael Dolan

Church Service Project Update - Will Try for July Dates

Posted on Jun 5 2026 - 10:00pm

Hello, all! We have had to move our possible dates for the painting of the parking lot curbs. The two current possible dates are Sat July 11 and Sat July 25. We will keep checking with the church as July approaches, as it's possible that the church could end up needing to ask us to reschedule. (They sometimes have Saturday events that are scheduled just a week or so out.)

Name Strips for Class A Shirts

We are going to order name strips for anyone that doesn't yet have their name on their class A shirt. Your first name strip is FREE. Scouts (and parents who have a class A shirt or are considering having one), please use this chance to get your name on your shirt! Bring your class A shirt and any patches you would like sewn on to our Troop meeting on Tuesday June 23, or give your shirt to Mrs. Kerkhoff at any time before that. Note that our meeting on the 16th will be at Barton Springs. Mrs. Kerkhoff will indeed be there collecting shirts! Summer is a great time to do this, as you can wear a Troop 511 shirt or any other Scouting t-shirt to meetings. Thanks for your attention!
