Welcome to Boy Scout Troop 511!

Welcome to Boy Scout Troop 511's web site. Boy Scout Troop 511 in Austin TX is sponsored by St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, and was founded in 1972. Over the years, we have had more than 170 young men become Eagle Scouts. We have a lovely outdoor program, including about 10 outdoor outings a year, summer camp and a high adventure trip for older Scouts. 

If you're interested in our troop, we encourage you to come visit us at one of our meetings! We meet every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in Huffman Hall on the St. Matthew's Episcopal Church campus. We love to have guests any time. Some meetings are more interesting for visitors to come to, so feel free to contact us if you're wondering which meeting would be best for you to come and check out Troop 511.

You can also request more information or sign up online!

Friday's the Day! Update those Scout Books with Mrs. Rindfuss!

Posted on Apr 25 2024 - 5:08pm

With a Court of Honor coming up, this is the time to show your Scout Book to Mrs. Rindfuss. If you did not show it to her at the last meeting, you can take (clear) pictures and send to her, to make sure your rank requirements are up to date. Advancements are due Friday April 26 for the May Court of Honor. Also, note that per our SPL and Scoutmaster, Scout leaders need to keep this up-to-date in order to plan meetings that focus on skills that Scouts need!
