Welcome!

Welcome to the website for Troop 158 in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts!  Serving the Scouting community  since 1989.

Troop 158 meets at St. Mary's Church (16 Summer Street) on Thursdays at 7:00 PM.  Meetings generally last 60 to 90 minutes depending on scheduled activities and planning requirements.  The Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters of 158 believe in empowering the young men of the troop to be responsible for organizing and managing weekly meetings, monthly camping trips, and the overall leadership structure of the troop.  This hands-on approach is accomplished through the direction, coaching, and support of the adult leadership.

If you would like to learn more about Troop 158, simply click on the About Us link.    If you would like to ask a question or would like to have an adult leader get in touch with you, click on the Contact Us link.  If you would simply like to learn more about Scouting, you can watch a video on the subject by clicking on this link: 100 Years of Scouting Video.

If you are a member of the Troop and you have forgotten your password, just click on "Login" and then click on "Request new password".  Please follow the instructions on the next screen (the arithmetic problem is actually a security measure, as simple as it seems).

Attention Parents - Merit Badge Counselors needed

Posted by cabrown on Apr 23 2013 - 11:40pm

Attention Parents:
Ever wonder how the boys earn their merit badges?  It's because adults like you share their knowledge and interests by being Merit Badge Counselors. Enjoy science?  How about the Astronomy or Chemistry badges?  Are you an avid collector?  There's the Collections merit badge. We are extremely interested in anyone with knowledge in geocaching or sports as we have a scout who currently wants to earn those, but whatever your area of expertise, there is sure to be a merit badge you can counsel.  After all, there are 130 of them! 
Check out usscouts.org for the list of current merit badges.
