Adventure starts in your own backyard.
Springfield's home for Cub Scout Pack 131 and Scouts BSA Troop 311. We build character, citizenship, and confidence through the great outdoors — right here in Northridge, Ohio.
Preparing young people to lead lives of purpose and adventure.
Thanks to our Chartered Organization, Northminster Presbyterian Church, we are a single destination in Springfield, OH for the youth of Northridge and the surrounding community to experience all that Scouting America has to offer.
Our mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices throughout their lives — instilling values that promote self-fulfillment, teamwork, leadership, and a lasting love of the outdoors.

A 300-seat dining hall, Olympic-size swimming pool, 10-acre lake, and miles of trails create the backdrop for everything from weekend campouts to summer-long adventures.
