HOW TO JOIN
Our troop is open to boys who are 11 through 17 years old.
If you’ve (a) turned 11, (b) completed fifth grade, or (c) earned the Arrow of Light award in Cub Scouting, you can become a Boy Scout.
Many of the Scouts in Troop 33 have been members of Packs 123,131,132,133,134, and 176, but others join without having been Cub Scouts or Webelos. Some of our Scouts join from other troops.
To become a Boy Scout, you’ll need to complete a youth application form. This is available from the Scoutmaster at a Monday night troop meeting.
We invite you to get a better sense for Troop 33 by attending a meeting or two, and possibly joining us on one of our monthly outings.
