Welcome
to Neffs, PA Boy Scout Troop 57 and thanks for stopping by. Our
Troop was founded on June 3, 1934. We are located in eastern Pennsylvania,
in a suburban residential community in North Whitehall Township,
Lehigh County. Neffs and nearby Schnecksville are about 8 miles
North of Allentown on route 873.
Typically,
Troop 57 averages 35-50 Scouts and about 15 leaders. Since 1934
we are proud to have sent 66 physically, mentally, and emotionally
fit Eagle Scouts out to be leaders of the world.
We are chartered through the North Valley District of Minsi
Trails Council which covers eastern PA and NJ. Our sponsoring
churches are Neffs UCC and Schnecksville Union
Lutheran Church.
We
run a very active year round program. We seem to love outdoor experiences
such as camping and hiking.
Our
troop meets on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to  7:45
at our newly remodeled Scout Lodge in the woods on the church campus.
It offers us the best of both worlds - a great indoor and out side
meeting, training and camping facility.
See
Troop Schedule for actual
meeting date and some of our scheduled activities.

Troop
57 is a "Boy Run" unit with scouts from eleven to eighteen
years old. We have strong adult leaders that provide the guidance
and direction, but the experienced scouts who have earned positions
of leadership in the troop plan the meetings, select the outings,
and teach the newer boys what it means to be a Boy Scout. Our
goal is for the scouts to learn to take responsibility within
our Troop and their community.
Our Mission:
Our
mission is the same as the BSA's… to serve others by helping
to instill values in young people and, in other ways, to prepare
them to make ethical choices during their lifetime in achieving
their full potential. The values we strive to instill are based
on those found in the Scout Oath and Law.
