Scout Troop Number 3 was started by a committee of the Universalist Unitarian Church of Joliet (UUCJ) in 2025.
The UUCJ Board of Trustees has established Scouting programs as part of their Religious Eduction efforts. Troop 3 has recognized UUCJ as their sponsoring organization and a charter will be extended to UUCJ by Scouting America. Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America) is the combination of several youth development programs, starting with Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, and Exploring.
In addition, the UUCJ has graciously allowed us the use of meeting rooms, copying equipment and much more.
Meetings are at the Church, on the first and fourth Thursdays of the month.
