Troop 713 is part of the Thunderbird District in the Greater Tampa Bay Area Council. We are located in Lakeland, FL and were founded in 1996. Our troop is home to approximately 30 active Scouts. Together with an enthusiastic group of adult volunteers we work to create a program that embodies the Mission and Vision of Scouting.
Our Troop Meetings are held at the Presbyterian Church in the Highlands located at 1010 Lake Miriam Drive, Lakeland, FL 33813 Troop meetings are every Monday from 6:30pm to 8:00pm (exception, holidays, winter, spring and summer school breaks). Additionally once every quarter we hold our Court of Honor ceremonies. We welcome prospective Scouts to any of our Troop Meetings but ask that you contact our Committee Chair to arrange a visit. The contact information is listed below.
