When selecting a troop, you need to consider many factors- at 1539, we strive to provide you with the information you need to make an informed choice. Scouting's new Journey to Excellence provides some metrics for evaluating how a troop is doing- you can see how we are doing against those metrics here. Below are some additional statistics that summarize what we are and what we do-
