BSA Troop 230’s program revolves around the great outdoors. We are a backpacking troop and will start hitting the trail in March and go until November. Most of our backpacking has been on the Appalachian Trail in Southeastern Pennsylvania. We average 5-7 hikes per year with at least 3 of them being overnight trips or longer. Recently we have completed a 14 mile hike on the Pinchot Trail in Lackawanna County in the Pocono’s. Some other trails that we have hiked are Ricketts Glen, French Creek, Hickory Run State Park, and Monacacy Hill, a very local trail that is approximately 5 miles of various terrain and small challenges along the way as to not discourage the boys. This is a great way to introduce the boys to hiking.


On Saturday, May 25th, Mrs. Bani & Mrs. Studt will be hosting a 5 mile hike. We will be hiking Monacacy Hill in Douglassville. More details will be coming shortly.
