Fun, adventure, and outdoor skills are our keywords.  Troop 22 is a well-established, traditional Scout troop with a vigorous program of outdoor activities, in the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Membership in our Troop is open to boys who will subscribe to the Scout Oath and Scout Law meet the following requirements:

• Age
  - Age 11 years or older, OR
  - Age 10 years AND completed the 5th grade, OR
  - Age 10 years AND have earned the Arrow of Light Award
  Note: (If the age requirement is too high, you are probably looking for Cub Scouts. Click here for more info on our Cubs.)
   

• Commitment
  Joining a Scout Troop requires a commitment by a Scout to participate in all Troop meetings and activities so far as he is able, and to abide by the policies, rules and dress codes set forth either in writing or as announced by the Troop Leadership.  It also requires a commitment from the parent/guardian to help enforce this commitment, and, if asked, to help provide support for the Troop's functions.
   

• Fees
  Registration/Dues: $100 per year per Scout; each Scout will receieve a new Troop 22 polo shirt each year as part of the re-registration. package.

The Troop will accept new members at any Troop meeting.  Membership is open to boys of any religious faith.  You can download the registration form in Adobe Acrobat format (PDF), here >> Boy Scout Application.

A parent or legal guardian must accompany any boy seeking membership.

Meetings

Troop 22 meets every Wednesday night from 7:30 - 9:00 PM at:

The doors generally open around 7:15 PM for pre-meeting activities.

Scouts are expected to attend all meetings.  If attendance at a meeting is not possible, the Scout is responsible for notifying his leader beforehand.

Around mid-June, the Troop switches into summer camp mode, and while we do meet, uniforms are not required, nor is dues collected.  The troop does not hold meetings during the first two weeks of August, when we are away at summer camp.  Please refer to the Troop Calendar for more detailed information.

Uniforms

The wearing of the Scout Uniform is mandatory at all meetings, unless otherwise noted.   New members have up to four weeks to obtain their uniforms.

While we do not require the use of a Scout hat, if a hat is to be worn to a Troop meeting, only the Official Scout hat is permitted.
