Troop 240 was founded in 1954 with the purpose of teaching youth leadership, life skills, and citizenship values . We achieve this through outdoor activities, community service, and encouraging responsibility. We have a year-round energetic program to engage our scouts.
Our Troop puts the “outing” in “Scouting”! We are an active Troop with a long history of hiking, biking, backpacking, and paddle craft. Our paddle craft program consists of both canoes and sea kayaks that allow us to do day or weekend excursions all over Oregon and Washington. Our camping outings are goal oriented to help the scouts develop skills and build life experiences.
We are chartered through American Legion Post 6 in Hillsboro and are proud to support our local veterans.
Our Troop is truly a scout-led organization. They are the decision makers in the activities and achievements that are done within the Troop, We pride ourselves on how we promote the majority of our scouts to Eagle Rank—the highest honor in scouting.
We welcome boys and girls ages 11 to 17 to join our adventures today!
