About US

 Troop 729, an all-boy troop has been active in the Towson community for over 45 years.  In February 2019, an all-girl Troop 1729 was founded.  Troops 729 and 1729 were “linked” together to share various events, programs, and outings until July of 2024 when we were officially combined under the Scouts BSA National Pilot Program (one of only 2 in the district). 

We enjoy a wide variety of fun and interesting activities including camping, hiking, backpacking, cycling, winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding & tubing and during the warmer months we go canoeing, sailing, & kayaking. We regularly go on high adventure treks to Philmont Scout Ranch, Sea Base, and backpack on the Appalachian Trail and other popular destinations.  

Scouting welcomes youth ages 11-18 who have a passion for the outdoors, exploring new interests, making new friends, and learning valuable life skills. 

Our program strives to build strong leaders and well rounded citizens by embracing the principles of the Youth-Led Troop and the tenets of the Scout Law.
