Welcome to Troop 138 BSA

This site is the communication center for our members, their parents, the troop committee and our sponsoring organization.

This site is currently under construction.

We meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. at the Saint Michaels Church Hall located behind the church on Church street in Naugatuck. Our meetings are open to all persons interested in participating in Scouting. Visitors may park behind the church in the lot.

Troop 138 has been chartered since June 1976 and is sponsored by Saint Michaels Episcopal Church. Previous to this we were Troop 107 and even earlier Troop 7, in the old Mattatuck Council. The several troop numbers were the result of council mergers over the years. There has been a Scout Troop here, sponsored by this church, since 1938. Membership is open to all boys regardless of religious affiliation. We are associated with the Mattatuck District of the Connecticut Rivers Council.

Our program is a mix of Scout camping, cycling and other outdoor activities. We camp at least eight weekends per year in all seasons, either as a troop or with other troops in joint campouts or participate in district or council events. The camping program includes an annual fishing campout in April, and winter cabin camping in January. We end our season with a week at Scout summer camp. The troop is fortunate to have committee members who are avid cyclers and for this reason we have a significant cycling program. Boys can earn the Cycling merit badge and while doing so, go cycle camping and on bike hikes.

In the spirit of " a Scout is helpful" the troop provides service to the community through the organization of and participation in food drives to benefit the local food pantry. We also help our sponsoring body by helping at their annual church fair.
