Join Troop 175
Thank you for considering joining our Scouting Family.A boy may join Boy Scouting after he reaches the age of 10 and has completed the fifth grade or be age 11 or have earned the Arrow of Light Award and be at least 10 years old.
Adults are always welcome to volunteer and support our expansive program. We have a place for your talents and energy, either as an Troop Committee Member, Assistant Scoutmaster, or Merit Badge Counselor.
Please assist your speedy transition to our troop by having the following information available:
Youth Application essential information (Must fill out official form)
- Existing Scouts and Leaders - BSA Member Number (on membership card or last unit's charter member roster)
- Member Transfer [Only for Boy Scouts] Youth (page 1), Adult (page 2)
- Boy Scout Advancement Record [Only for Boy Scouts - Troopmaster Printout]
- Troop Resource Survey Family Members
Our Troop Committee has established a special Family Mentor program to assist families in the transition into Scouting. We all know how hard it is when first joining and how confusing all the paperwork can be. It is also difficult for new parents to “break into” the social aspect of our troop. We want to make this easier and perhaps inspire our new families to get involved.
The aim of our Mentor program is to help the new families through all of this and ease their transition. This will benefit both the new families and the troop.
This assistance is not designed to help with advancements or achievements, this is purely for the social side of our organization. Our Mentor families will attend our new parent orientation and meet new families. This will help break the ice and allow both groups to see each other face-to-face. From there, the mentors help as needed.
There are always questions about paperwork, Scout accounts, family accounts, payments, trip packages and summer camp. If you don't find your questions answered at our Troop website or by your Mentor family, please contact members of our Troop Committee for assistance.
