SCOUT TROOP 1175 IN SIMSBURY IS LOOKING FOR ADVENTUROUS GIRLS

Scout Troop 1175 is looking for girls 11-17 years old with a sense of adventure and fun. Our troop philosophy is unconditional support with 100% inclusion and no judgement. Our Troop is sponsored by the Simsbury VFW and meets at Scout Hall in Simsbury (695 Hopmeadow St.) on Wednesday nights from 7:00-8:30 PM.

Monthly Trips That Test Our Skills

In the best traditions of Scouting, we are an adventurous Troop with an emphasis on the basic skills of Scouting and putting those skills to the test every month on challenging trips. We are an “All Weather” Troop. Some examples of our adventures include:

  • Camping on a beach with wild horses in Maryland
  • Dogsledding in Maine
  • Learning SCUBA in Massachusetts
  • Whitewater rafting in upstate New York
  • Building and driving an ice boat in New Hampshire
  • Canoe-camping for a week on the Allagash River in Maine
  • Building and sleeping in survival shelters in Vermont
  • Backpacking on the Appalachian Trail
  • Ice climbing in Connecticut
  • Surfing on the Rhode Island coast
  • Bike-camping on Nantucket Island
  • Living on a sailboat for a week in St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands

We also do a number of local camping trips and other “chill” activities. We like to mix it up so everyone gets a taste of what they like. We have “fun with a purpose” and would love to have you check out troop meeting, join us for a camping trip, or just come meet the girls of Troop 1175. If you are adventurous or enjoy the outdoors, we are sure there is a place for you in Troop 1175.
