At Boy Scout Troop 31, we emphasize character development, citizenship, self-reliance and leadership development presented in a way that is both enjoyable and worthwhile. At Troop 31, we've been training leaders for over 100 years, and having a good time doing it! Boy Scout Troop 31 was formed in April 1913. It is the longest established Boy Scout Troop in City of Rochester, and the second oldest troop in Monroe county and in Seneca Waterways Council. In fact, the Troop is older than Seneca Waterways Council, which was formed in 1918. The Boy Scouts of America was established in 1910, so Troop 31 was there at the beginning.Since 1913, we've awarded over 160 Eagle Scout ranks, which is the highest honor earned as a boy scout. We are rich with experience, leadership, tradition, and good times. Boy Scout Troop 31 has always been sponsored by and held meetings at Third Presbyterian Church, which is located at the corner of Meigs Street and East Avenue in Rochester. Church membership is not necessary. We accept Scouts of any denomination. ​
