Welcome to Boy Scout Troop 230!

Scouts BSA Troop 230, Yardley, PA

Meetings: Every Tuesday 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM

Location & Sponsor: St. Ignatius Church, Yardley, PA.

We are a proud “boy-led” troop who attend Pennsbury, Neshaminy, Council Rock as well as private, religious, and home schools. 40 scouts work as a team enjoying trips, special events, and community service projects.

Scouts: We have diverse interests. We are football players, swimmers, baseball players, robotics competitors, band members ... regardless of personal interests we come together in scouting. Kudos to the 150 of our scouts who have earned the rank of Eagle over the last 51 years!

Parents: Troop leaders are supported by 25 moms and dads who make up our Scoutmaster Council and Troop Committee.

The Great Outdoors: An extremely active all-year camping and hiking program brings us outside to develop skills and friendships.

Amazing Activities: Besides summer camp, highlights include touring Washington, DC and NYC, climbing at GoApe!, camping and hiking Gettysburg, hiking the Appalachian Trail and Yosemite National Park, canoeing down the Delaware, white-water rafting the Lehigh, Caving, hiking Valley Forge, and attending our annual ski trip. The list goes on ... recently, we have worked towards our disability awareness, first aid, hiking, biking, wilderness survival, backpacking, engineering, welding, woodworking, American labor, communications, scholarship, entrepreneurship, family life, golfing, and environmental science merit badges. Six of our scouts sailed for a week in the Florida Keys, and nine in the Bahamas!

Troop 230 is part of the Tamanend District in the Washington Crossing Council and is a welcoming and supportive environment. Come visit us!

Due to a scheduling conflict with the church we need to move the Emergency Preparedness Badge and Troop Meeting to the VFW Post at 1444 Yardley-Newtown Road.  Pull around to the back and the back door will be unlocked.  Board of Reviews will be indoors but the troop meeting will be outside.  There will be hot chocolate and S'Mores.  Dress for Cold!!

Board of Reviews for 2 Scouts, Adult Assistance Needed

Posted on Dec 1 2024 - 6:05pm

On Tuesday night we have 2 Scouts looking to rank up.  To do this they need to sit before a panel of 3 adult volunteers who will ask them questions related to the current rank they are in, activities they completed while in current rank, and cheerlead them into the next rank!  It takes approx. 25 minutes and no previous experience is needed.  The BOR member cannot be a Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster.  Please signup if you are able to stay and assist with these 2 eager Scouts BOR's on Tuesday night.  At some point EVERY Scout will need to sit before a BOR in order to rank up ... it takes a village to get them through this process!
