Welcome to Troop 40

Troop 40 in West Windsor, NJ offers boys the opportunity to learn skills that they will use not only in scouting but for the rest of their lives. Our program focuses on helping boys develop into productive young adults, while having fun along the way. Scouts in our troop learn outdoor, first aid, organization and leadership skills. Troop 40, part of the Mercer Area District, was chartered in 1964 by the First Presbyterian Church of Dutch Neck. We offer boys the chance to experience the best that scouting has to offer.
