Welcome to the BSA Troop 230 Website

BSA Troop 230’s program revolves around the great outdoors. We are a backpacking troop and will start hitting the trail in March and go until November. Most of our backpacking has been on the Appalachian Trail in Southeastern Pennsylvania. We average 5-7 hikes per year with at least 3 of them being overnight trips or longer. Recently we have completed a 14 mile hike on the Pinchot Trail in Lackawanna County in the Pocono’s. Some other trails that we have hiked are Ricketts Glen, French Creek, Hickory Run State Park, and Monacacy Hill, a very local trail that is approximately 5 miles of various terrain and small challenges along the way as to not discourage the boys. This is a great way to introduce the boys to hiking.

The Horseshoe Trail weekend

The Horseshoe Trail weekend started off like any other weekend that you would go for two and a half days, and would sleep in tents on private property surrounded by animals and bugs that seemed to never leave you alone. Anyway the point of this weekend’s trip was to do a couple of things. One of them was to go out onto the hiking trail and split into two groups. One of the groups was working on cleaning up the trail of stuff from sticks and vines to logs that have fallen over, they would do this while they were hiking the trail. In all they hiked about 5.6miles. The other group was on erosion control. This was the group I was in...(Read More)
