How to Contact or Join Malvern Troop Seven

Updated

Malvern Troop Seven accepts inquiries and new-member interest through the contact form on malverntroop7.org. To use it, you need JavaScript enabled in your browser, and you fill in your name, email, the reason you are reaching out (a general question or joining Troop 7), your message, and a phone number. If you would rather show up in person first, the troop meets most Wednesday evenings at the Scout Cabin at the Malvern Memorial Grounds, next to the baseball field at Monument and Sugartown Roads.

Contacting the Troop Online

The site's Contact section provides a single form. According to the page, it includes these fields:

  • Name (first and last) — required
  • Email — required
  • I am interested in — choose either "A general question" or "Joining Troop 7"
  • Comment or Message — required
  • Phone
  • Submit

One practical catch: the form only works if JavaScript is enabled in your browser. If the form does not appear or will not submit, check your browser's JavaScript setting before assuming the site is down.

Selecting "Joining Troop 7" as your interest is the clearest way to signal that you want membership information rather than a one-off question.

Visiting a Meeting in Person

If you prefer to talk with leaders and Scouts directly, you can attend a meeting. The page lists these details:

Item Detail
Location Scout Cabin at the Malvern Memorial Grounds, next to the baseball field at Monument and Sugartown Roads
Meeting time 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM
Meeting day Every Wednesday evening
Exception No meeting on the last Wednesday of the month

The calendar on the site shows meetings running 7:30 PM to 8:45 PM on specific dates, so the end time can vary slightly by event. Checking the calendar before you go is worthwhile, since some Wednesdays are used for merit badge sessions, courts of honor, or other activities rather than a standard troop meeting.

What to Know Before You Reach Out

A few facts from the site help you frame your question or visit:

  • Troop 7 describes itself as an active, boy-led, parent-supported troop of 40+ Scouts with year-round activities supporting BSA advancement.
  • It was formed in 1916 and is the second oldest troop in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
  • It is chartered by St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Malvern and belongs to the Diamond Rock District in the Chester County Council of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).
  • The stated philosophy is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices, with three aims: growth in moral strength and character, participating citizenship, and development of physical, mental, and emotional fitness.

If your question is about dues, deadlines, or a specific event, the calendar lists items such as troop dues and Home of the Sparrow deadlines, so mentioning the date you are asking about in your message can get you a more precise answer.
