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.

Scouts Read Sacred Texts Worldwide is an annual event to encourage youth to read their sacred texts in conjunction with the U.S. National Day of Prayer.If any Scouts are interested, this could be something people participate in individually or as a group. Also, we got a call from St Matt's asking if any Scouts are interested in participating in some way. If you are interested in this event and willing to coordinate with St Matt's, talk to Ms. Juday and she can help put you in touch. Scouts Read Sacred Texts Worldwide aligns with the values, principles, and spiritual aims of Scouting. Participation satisfies the Scout Spirit requirement to "Tell how you have done your duty to God.” This event supports the Scout Oath commitment to duty to God; encourages personal reflection consistent with BSA principles; respects each Scout’s family and faith tradition; and may be completed individually, with family, or with other Scouts.

The dates are Friday Aug 28 through Sunday August 30. Training starts at 8pm Friday night and will conclude Sunday no later then 5pm. The location is Worth Ranch, west of Fort Worth, about 3 1/4 hours away. This weekend event offers two trainings in one! Training is for Scouts/Scouters ages 15+. The cost is $50 per person, which includes printed learning resources, patch, and meals.
