New Member Information

Thank you for your interest in Scouting. Just making it to this site is a huge step.  Please reach out to Committee Chair Heather Mahon with any questions that you have


Confused on the required BSA uniform or placement of patches and insignia? Check out the BSA Uniform Builder Site for more information and a pictorial guide! 


At the council store in Doylestown (adjacent to the Bucks County Library),  you'll need to purchase a tan shirt (short sleeve is recommended and available with male/female styling), green pants (switchbacks, which also can be shorts, are the most cost effective), BSA socks , a Washington Crossing Patch and World Organization of Scouting insignia (purple flour de lis).   If your child is crossing over from Webelos and wore the tan shirt and green pants, you are likely ready to go!

***Troop 172 will provide you with the Troop Numbers, Patrol Emblem, Troop Neckerchief, and Shoulder Loops***

Remember, size up as the kids grow FAST, and if you can't sew, our adult leaders can help
