Today's Troop
Today the troop is active in the Naugatuck community. We hold the annual Harvest Moon Festival on the town green. Here the boys do scouting demonstrations and help the vendors around the fair. The troop also does a good turn by helping with White's Memorial spring cleanup. The troop camps one weekend a month through out the school year and attends a week of summer camp as group. Each year the older troop members plan and execute a high adventure trip which allows for the culmination of planning, leadership development and fun in a trip away to places such as Philmont New Mexico, the Florida Seabase, or canoeing the Allagash River in Maine to name a few.
