Scouting America Troop 209 Newton, MA
“Once a scout, always a scout”
-Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the world-wide Scout Movement
Troop 209 Newton is a coed Troop for girls and boys. The Troop has a strong Order of the Arrow presence and is motivated to help the community while enjoying a broad range of outdoor activities. We promote strong moral character, develop youth leadership and instill confidence while allowing Scouts to work at their own pace. We are proud to exceed the national average for Scouts attaining the Eagle Scout rank. We have a relaxed attendance policy and are very proud of our diverse group of Scouts. Troop 209 is a fully inclusive Scout Troop, meaning we believe in equality for all. So no matter your religion, ethnicity or gender identity, we welcome you!
