About

Auburn's girls troop in the Scouts BSA era

Troop 8401 is the girls troop in the Auburn Scouting program. The troop meets weekly in Auburn and uses Scoutbook for its calendar and activity planning.

Girls troops began in Auburn in 2019, when Scouts BSA opened to girls, and Troop 8401 grew from that start.

The program centers on the core Scout values: outdoor responsibility, service, and youth growth through steady participation.
