Boy Scout Troop 175 is looking for boys with sense of adventure and fun to join us. Our Troop, is Sponsored by St. Mary’s Church in Simsbury, and meets on Thursday nights from 7-8:30 PM. Boys of all faiths are welcome.
In the best traditions of Scouting, we are an adventurous Troop with an emphasis on the basic skills of Scouting and putting those skills to the test every month on challenging trips. We are an “All Weather” Troop. We have camped and biked on Block Island; Bobsledded with the US Olympic team in Lake Placid (camping in snow caves that night),learned to scuba dive in Honduras and explored survival camping at our annual “Deep Freeze” survival shelter trip.
Adventure is at the heart of Troop 175! We believe in the power of the outdoors to teach resilience, teamwork, and essential survival skills. Whether it’s camping in the snow, navigating mountain trails, or spending nights under the stars, our Scouts experience the thrill of nature year-round. From Deep Freeze survival camping to our annual summer camp at Camp Mattatuck, every trip is designed to challenge and inspire.
Scouting is about building strong, capable leaders. Our Junior Leader Training Program pushes Scouts to develop teamwork, problem-solving, and survival skills in the rugged terrain of the White Mountains. For those who strive for the ultimate challenge, The Immortals—our elite team—learn advanced survival tactics, rescue techniques, and leadership strategies, earning a reputation as the “Best of the Best.”
Service is a cornerstone of Scouting. Troop 175 is dedicated to making a positive impact in Simsbury and beyond. From building trails and maintaining public spaces to fundraising for global initiatives, our Scouts embody the principle that a Scout is helpful. We’ve assisted disaster relief efforts, constructed community projects, and even organized international humanitarian missions to places like Haiti.
Each year, our most experienced Scouts embark on once-in-a-lifetime global adventures that push their skills and leadership to the next level. From sailing the Croatian coast and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to rafting the Zambezi River and exploring the Amazon Jungle, our Scouts take on the world’s greatest challenges. Whether navigating the wilderness, diving into new cultures, or mastering survival techniques, these expeditions forge lifelong memories and an unshakable spirit of adventure.
“Joining Troop 175 has been the best adventure of my life, joining Troop 175
has been the best adventure of my life!” ”
