scout troops

Camping youth organizations

Scout troops are local units of youth organizations like the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, typically led by adult volunteers and organized around outdoor skills, community service, and character development.

A troop usually consists of children from the same neighborhood or school who meet regularly: Her daughter's scout troop went camping last weekend.
