Boy Scout Troop 457 (boys 11 to 17 years old) is chartered to St. John Lutheran Church, located at 6540 Main Street in Williamsville, NY, and meets in the Fellowship Hall most Wednesday nights during the Williamsville District school year from 7:00 PM until approximately 8:30 PM. We appreciate the church's generosity for serving as our charter organization and for allowing us to use their facilities for our meetings. Please note that Troop members do not have to be members of this church, and while many are not, we do participate in church services on some occasions ("A Scout is Reverent").
Camping
Troop 457 is a dynamic Boy Scout troop that wholeheartedly embraces the spirit of outdoor exploration and camaraderie. With a strong emphasis on camping and a commitment to instilling the principles of the Boy Scout Outdoor Code, this troop offers an extraordinary opportunity for young adventurers to develop essential life skills, foster a deep appreciation for nature, and build lasting friendships.
Advancement
Troop 457 has a strong rank advancement program, based upon national standards created by the BSA. Scouts learn important skills that will serve them well throughout their lives, and are recognized for their progress by advancing through various ranks, from Tenderfoot at the beginning of their journey to Eagle at the pinnacle.
