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 5 mile hike at Rickets Glen State Park in the Pocono’s.  Some other trails that we have hike are 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.

Camping-Backpacking Gear

Posted on Apr 29 2010 - 10:06am

– We are fast approaching camping season and this is a great time to have your scout look at what they have to see if they need anything and if they have outgrown anything.  If you have out grown a pack or you have purchased something new.  Please let us know.  Maybe someone else in the troop would be willing to buy it from you.  There are a bunch of scouts that are growing and could use your gently used items. Also if we see that a lot of people need something in particular we can research and possibly get a better price for buying in bulk.
