Troop 559, chartered in 1970 and located in Woodbury, MN, has a rich history and we are proud to be a scout led troop. We are a member of the Northern Star Council, District G and our charter organization is Woodbury Lutheran Church. The mission of the Scouts BSA is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. We support this mission for youth in our Troop.
