Welcome to home page of Troop 6. We are a vibrant multi-cultural, multi-racial, non-denominational urban unit reflecting the diversity of the Queen City of the Sound - New Rochelle, NY. The troop is sponsored through the kindness and generosity of the Presbyterian Church of New Rochelle.
Scouting is the greatest outdoors action game in the world, and our Troop does it well. Our program for the 2009-10 year includes canoeing on the Delaware, skiing and snowboarding in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, winter camping, trail hiking, swims, ecology on the Hudson River, and a host of other events including a year end excursion trip. All this is capped off by a week long, event filled summer camp at Curtis Read Scout Reservation in the Adirondack Forest Preserve that will include caving, climbing and rappelling, whitewater rafting and horseback trail rides. It's a program that's both fun-packed and teachs scouts self-reliance and leadership.
We hope you'll take some time to explore this site and find out more about both Troop 6 and the Boy Scout program in general. Check out the site's features including the photo gallery or check out the the latest Troop happenings. If you're a boy at least 11 years of age or that has completed the 5th grade, and this type of fun appeals to you, feel free to drop in with a parent or guardian to one of our Thursday night meetings. Troop 6 is also affiliated with Cub Scout Pack 6 for boys 7 to 10 years old. Enjoy!
