Catholic scouting for fathers and sons
Troop 302 brings together fathers and sons in the Wilmington, Delaware area to deepen their relationship with Jesus and His Church through outdoor experiences, service projects, and participation in the Sacraments.
Troop 302 is sponsored through St. Elizabeth parish, is a Delaware-registered 501 (c) 3, and is chartered with the international scouting organization Troops of St. George.
