Welcome Visitors
Meetings take place every Wednesday evening at 7:00 from September thru June. We meet in Andrews Hall at Doylestown Presbyterian Church.
Welcome to Troop 48, home of the Pathfinders. If you're new to Scouting, if you're a Webelo and looking for a troop or if you are thinking about transferring from another troop then this is the place for you. Troop 48 is built on the premise that no matter what your likes are, whether you're big or small, athletic or a bookworm, or both, we have a spot for you. There is no comparable organization where 11 year olds and 18 year olds can play, learn and lead together as one group and no where is that more apparent than in Troop 48. Check out the pages of this website to find out more about our program, our experiences and traditions. We'd love to have you become a part of our Scout family.
To join Boy Scouting you just need to be at least 10 1/2 years old or out of fifth grade. You'll need to fill out an application which will be available when you come for a visit or through the Bucks County Boy Scout office on Scout Way next to the Doylestown Library. New leaders or older scouts of any age are always welcome too. All you'll need to join is a love of camping and the great outdoors.
Contact our Scoutmaster for more information.
Every week, our Scoutmaster publishes a newsletter to help us prepare for the week ahead. The news will cover everything from a summary of the previous week’s events to what we’ll be doing at the next meeting and how we should prepare for the months ahead.
