Troop Overview

Troop 140 has been in existence for over 58 years and we are still going strong. Troop 140 is for boys between the ages of 11 and 18 and we are sponsored by the Fairview School PTO, in Middletown, NJ.

We are one of the first in Monmouth Council to be actively involved in the scout sponsored Stem Program (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)

Building Character

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation’s largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of citizenship, and develops personal fitness. The BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. Helping youth is the key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.

Leadership Skills

The scouts have fun and learn leadership running meetings and events. They plan and organize rafting trips, camping trips to scout camps, state and local parks and trips. There is also a week long summer camp we participate in at Forestburg Scout Reservation in New York. The troop is run by our scouts with a lot of dedicated adults who volunteer to train, guide and council the boys.
