Over the last 70 years, Troop 82 has mentored over 5,000 Scouts and supported over 1,000 young men on their journey to the Eagle Scout Rank. With a membership of around 275-300 boys each year, we represent schools across Dallas including HPISD, Providence, ESD, St. Mark’s, TCA, Shelton, and DISD, among others.
Purpose
To have fun, develop skills, leadership, and character, and live by the Scout Law while serving God, country, family, and community.

We follow the Baden-Powell model, offering structured advancement programs, leadership opportunities, and strong parent volunteer support with over 120 positions.
Faith
Troop 82 is a ministry of Highland Park Presbyterian Church. The mission of HPPC is to lead all generations to find and follow Jesus for the flourishing of Dallas and beyond. Troop 82 presents the gospel of Jesus Christ in its programming and campout church services, but welcomes families of all faiths.
