Welcome to Downingtown Troop 23!

BSA Troop 23 has been helping youth in Downingtown and Coatesville walk their "Trail to Eagle" since 1965. Over that time, the world and advancement requirements have changed, but Troop 23 has maintained it's goal to instill and instruct ways to "Be Prepared" for all that life may bring.

Troop 23B is an active, medium-large troop for boys, participating in monthly camping trips, regular service projects and yearly Summer Camp and High Adventure experiences. In 2019, Scouts BSA allows for the creation of girl specific Troops. Central Presbyterian Church agreed to add another charter for a girl specific Troop 23G

If you are interested in becoming involved in Scouting and part of Troop 23, please e-mail us or better yet join us at Central Presbyterian Church (100 W Uwchlan Ave, at the intersection of Rt 113 and Pennsylvania Ave), in Downingtown, PA for our weekly Troop meeting, Thursday nights from 7:30 - 8:30pm.

Dear Summer Camp parents:

In case they have forgotten anything or need a mid-week pickup, we will send a car load of care packages down to camp on Wednesday, June 25th. Homemade cookies or brownies, a note from home, small toys or games, powdered drink mix tubes and any little treats that might make your son's day are good choices.
