Troop 518 has been in operation since 2013, and officially "split" standing up Troop 518 (Girls) and Troop 518 (Boys) in 2020.  In 2026, Troop 518 has become a "Family Troop" effectively merging Boys and Girls into a singular Unit, and in our case split into gender specific Patrols.  Patrols always have the option to do individual (just boy, just girl) activities if the scouts so choose. Troop 518 is chartered (sponsored) by Amazing Grace Church (Potranco/Talley Rd. area).

Scouts BSA is for boys and girls ages 11-17 years old, or who have completed the Arrow of Light or have completed the fifth grade. The program helps develop character, leadership, citizenship, and personal fitness qualities among youth, by focusing on Outdoor Adventures and fostering the desire and skill to help others.
