Welcome to Troop 166 in Longmont, Colorado!

We are chartered by Westview Presbyterian Church (AKA The Chocolate Chip Church) (map).

Regular troop meetings are Tuesday nights, 7:00 - 8:30 PM, at Westview

About our Troop

Troop 166 is smaller-sized, active, and boy-led. This allows every scout to participate in troop leadership. We camp, hike, backpack, shoot, canoe, serve, and have fun. A typical year will also see our troop whitewater rafting, winter camping, or experiencing Impossible Missions. Additionally, we are active in all of our district activities such as Klondike, Fall Rendezvous, and Scout Show. And if you have been to any OA activity in the area recently, you probably have met several of our Arrowmen. There's more information about the troop: Overview

If you are interested in joining our fun, active troop, you are welcome to join us for any meeting. But please contact the Scoutmaster first, just to confirm our schedule. And if you are a Webelos, and you want to join the troop check this out: information on Joining and an Invitation to see us in action at Rendezvous and Klondike.
