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!

Message:

Are you thinking about coming to Winter Camp with the troop? We hope so! The dates are Dec 27-30. Sign up here on the troop website and then start thinking about having a current physical exam/sign-off. To attend, Scouts need (A) a completed Part C form, (B) the Part C needs to be signed by a certified and licensed physician (MD, DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant, (C) the medical signoff needs to be less than a year old as of the last day of camp. Pediatricians will often sign the form if they have already seen your Scout this year.
