Scouts BSA Troops 196

Join Us for the Adventure of Your Life!

OUTDOOR SKILLS

In the outdoors, youth have opportunities to acquire skills that make them more self-reliant. They can explore canoe and hiking trails and complete challenges they first thought were beyond their ability. There is no greater teacher than the great outdoors.

TIMELESS VALUES

Scouting programs instill in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Scout-age youth experience dramatic physical and emotional growth. Scouting offers them opportunities to channel much of that change into productive endeavors and to find the answers they are seeking for many of their questions.

Welcome to Troop 196 B and Troop 196 G! Our Boy and Girl Troops operate as a linked unit. As a blended unit, our Troops share the same leadership committees and chartered organization, as well as equipment and resources.

Troop 196 is chartered by the American Legion Post 109 of Mechanicsburg and is part of New Birth of Freedom Council Pioneer District.
