Activities

    Here are some of our troop's activities:

    Camping

    Car Parking

    Troop 7 parks cars at University of Alabama home football games for fundraising.  We have parking locations near the Alabama Credit Union (at Anna Ave) and at St. Francis University Parish (811 5th Ave).

    Our car parking activities pay for all of our troop's camping gear (tents, dining flys, cook stoves, lanterns, etc.).  Scouts and their parents that work at the car parks earn the scout's summer camp experience; last year all but one of our scouts had their summer camp fully paid by the troop.

    Car parking also helps our troop participate in high adventure activities.  For those scouts working the car parks, our troop is able to help pay their way to Philmont or Seabase.

    High Adventure

    Troop 7 has a long history of high adventure treks to Philmont and Seabase.  These trips are largely facilitated through our car-parking fundraising activities.
