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.

The bike day trip will be on June 20th. The location would be at Pocono Biking (~1:45 hours away), this will work as a day trip where we will all arrive at the church in the morning and then leave together in ASM’s cars. Please fill out the form so we can get an idea of how many people are interested. There will be a cost of about $60 so please keep that in mind. A question with what trek you want to take will show up, don’t be afraid of large mileage numbers like 25 miles because all courses will have a net downhill slope. The courses will also take all day and we will take plenty of breaks when needed. Both scouts and ASMs are welcome to respond and attend: https://forms.gle/SxjfHkbP94TWcXFD6
