Update for Combined Troop Pilot Participants

The “Family Troop” option has been approved and will become available to all chartering organizations as a third option on December 15th, 2025. Troops will continue to be able to organize as boy troops and girl troops.

With enormous gratitude for their work, the troops participating in the combined troop pilot may continue to operate as family troops. At this time, all “hold” troops in the pilot do not need to be rechartered. For any family troop that has already rechartered its “hold” troop for 2026, we are working on a plan to refund those payments. Pilot troops, contact your council pilot representative for more information.
