Troop 283 has been continuously chartered for over 85 years and is the oldest continuously chartered troop in Minnesota! We are in the Lake Minnetonka District of Viking Council. Wayzata Community Church is the chartering organization of the Troop and provides strong support with meeting rooms and troop storage space. While several of our Scouts attend WCC, we are extremely proud that many area churches and synagogues are represented in the Troop. We have enclosed our latest roster for your use in case you might wish to call any Scouts or parents from the Troop as you make up your mind about which Troop you will join. In addition to the great diversity of religious backgrounds represented in the Troop, another strength we feel the Troop has is the number of schools represented in the Troop. We have boys from Wayzata Central Middle and Wayzata West Middle Schools. We have a number of older boys who attend Wayzata High School. In addition to those listed above, we also have boys from St. Bart's, Redeemer Lutheran, and Orono schools. Our members live as close as a few blocks from the Church or as far away as Maple Plain and Mound.
