BSA Troop 902

 


About us

 Mailing Address: 5171 Milford Rd East Stroudsburg PA 18302

Meeting Place: St John’s Church 5171 Milford Rd East Stroudsburg PA 18302 - Wednesdays @ 6:30pm

Troop 902 is a 2022 Gold Quality level troop following the traditional Boy Scout program. We were founded in September 2019, 9 months after the BSA allowed girls to join scouting.  We were one of the first BSA all female troops in Monroe County. Most of our scouts come from the Bushkill and East Stroudsburg area, including Middle Smithfield, Smithfield, and Marshalls Creek. We are a member of the Mini Trails Council, Monroe District. We have troop meetings on Wednesday evenings, from 6:30pm till 8:00pm. at St John’s Church East Stroudsburg. St Johns Church is our chartered organization, but a Scout does not need to be member of the church to be a troop member. The Troop uses the GroupMe and Facebook apps (available in the Google and Apple store) to quickly communicate with all troop members, families and friends. These are closed communication medium intended for the use of scouts, parents, guardians and pre-approved extended family members and friends.

Rank advancement and programs in Troop 902 are completely scout driven. We truly believe in community service projects each year such as a Scouting for Food, Veterans and 4th of July Parades and veterans flag replacement at local cemeteries. We also support St John’s Church and our Township. 

Dues: Are due annually ($120 currently).  All new scouts will have a one-time $25.00 admin fee added for national. The dues can be paid in full or in 2 installments; (Payment #1) is due in late August at start of the school year, (Payment #2) is due before the Thanksgiving holiday. Any scout starting in between payments will pay in full for the upcoming year and will be billed retroactive for the remainder of the current year. Any questions or concerns regarding scout accounts, payment arrangements, etc. can be directed to our Treasurer.
