Troop 70 is an eighty-two year old Boy Scout Troop located in Newtown, Connecticut. Boasting one of the most experienced group of trained leaders, Troop 70 provides Scouts with a strong and innovative program that allows them to learn and experience more. As an organization led by young men, Troop 70 teachers leadership to Scouts through experience. While the Troop is led by young men, responsible, trained adult leaders keep a careful watch over all aspects of the Troop and provide logistical support.
While all Boy Scout Troops offer their own special traits, Troop 70 is well known for being the most experienced Troop in our area. Troop 70 is the only Troop in our area that offers meetings twelve months per year, and explores monthly on exciting camping excursions. Meeting twelve months per year allows our Scouts to learn more and experience more through the innovative planning process based on the weather and current seasons.
Established in 1928, Troop 70 is the oldest Boy Scout Troop in our area. Having a long legacy of a strong program, Troop 70 continues with this legacy to provide even stronger programs in the future. While proud of our past, Troop 70 is working in innovate new ways, with new ideas and technologies to continue to provide outstanding programs to young men aged eleven to eighteen.
