BSA Troop 191

If you are looking to register your trip for an online signup, the online signups are down. You must request paper signups for now. Thanks.

Weekends in March Troop 191 has its annual fertilizer fundraiser. Each year the troop provides area residents with competitively priced fertilizer products sold by the scouts door to door in caravans on weekends in March. The funds raised are used to cover troop expenses but a portion of all proceeds go into the scouts troop account. This account can be used by scouts to offset camping trips, camping supplies and summer camp.

Please take a minute to have your son sign up for as many shifts as possible; submit a separate signup for each shift.

Adults are encouraged to help. We need several adults per shift to help with driving and provide supervision for the boys. All adult time is counted towards their sons account or as leaders/committee, into their own account.

Hands on instruction in trout fishing using assorted baits and lures. Scouts need to bring a light or ultra light rod with 4 to 6lb line, as well as appropriate clothing, hat, and sunscreen. Nice to have gear would include polarized sunglasses, hook removal tool, net, and waders if you have them.

WWII Weekend at Mid Atlantic Air Museum at Reading PA Airport. WWII aircraft, vehicles, and recreator encampments, complete with mock battles and airshow, plus a military flea market. Scouts should bring hats, sunscreen, folding chairs, and cameras. Security is tight, and no coolers, containers, or food will be allowed, so bring at least $10 for the food and drink vendors (and flea market shopping). Rain date is 6/8/2014.

We will be camping in Clinton with a friendly competition to cook the best one pot meal. We will also be looking to provide the boys with an opportunity to sharpen those outdoor skills.

Sat/Sun Biking with overnight campout - approximately 15 miles bike ride along the Delaware River Canal Path. The canal path is a cinder/road gravel path for Hybrid or Mountain bike. Generally level terrain except for a few moderate hills in Washington Crossing Park. One pot dinner cooking on Saturday night. Bring your own Saturday Lunch.

Two days of skiing at Okemo. Feb 28 - Mar 2nd.

Due to hurricane Sandy we were forced to cancel this event last year. Please come along to welcome the new scouts and parents. 

Online signups have returned beginning with a Rock Climbing Event. The leadership has over the last several months developed the procedures to address the needs of all involved. There are several events available, please take some time to review them with your child to see if he is interested.
