Troop 312 was established
on June 14, 1911 with C.H. Johnson as Scoutmaster. The Chief
scout was Ernest Thompson Seton, one of the founders of Boy
Scouts of America.
This troop is sponsored by the First Presbyterian Church of
Jackson, Michigan. The church has been the sponsoring organization
most of the time since 1918.
We are the oldest troop in Michigan and the 15th oldest in the
nation. Theodore Roosevelt was the honorary vice president of
the troop at its beginning.
One of the primary programs of the troop is its outdoor program.
Using Canoes, hiking, biking and backpacking, we are a high
adventure troop. more info
