Swedesboro-Woolwich NJ
Welcome to the site for the Boy Scouts of America Troop 61 Swedesboro-Woolwich and surrounding area. Our offical kickoff was on October 7, 2009 and was welcomed by lots of new and prospective Scouts.
We are looking for boys that are currently entering 6th Grade and looking for a adventure in Scouting. We are a newly formed troop but bring with us years of Scouting experience as we form this troop. Our Mission Statement is to provide a safe environment while exposing the Scouts to Life Experiences that include Camping, Hiking, Community Service, and other activities geared for today's youth.
Those interested in becoming a Scout please contact: Debbie Morris (856) 467-9564 or (856) 264-1056 or e-mail us at: troop61bsaswedesboro@gmail.com
