Welcome !

Welcome to Troop 876! We are a BSA Troop dedicated to girls aged 11 to 17 who like to camp, make friends, learn, and challenge themselves.

Scouting is all about adventure, family, leadership, and especially fun!

BSA strives to build a better future for your child by teaching them skills they'll carry with them into adulthood.

Our motto - Be Prepared - applies not only to the practical skills your scout will learn, but also the leadership and teamwork skills that will prepare them for the future.

It’s fun, hands-on learning and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today – and for life.

Message:

The National Jamboree is just around the corner, July 22 - 31, 2026 at Summit Bechtel Reserve, NCAC is finalizing contingent rosters and would love to see more representation from one of the largest girl’s troop in the Council! Mrs. Kelly Wratkowski, NCAC Director of Program reached out to offer a 10% discount to Troop 876 if 3 or more additional scouts register to attend the Jamboree from our troop. That’s a savings of $245 per Scout. To have the credit applied, you register up to the point of payment and send Mrs. Wratkowski an email to finalize payment and apply the discount, then they will be able to complete the rest of the payment.

Hi Scouts and Parents- Our plans are underway for the Summer 2026 High Adventure to Iceland, and now we need to begin the process for our next High Adventure in the Summer of 2027 to Northern Tier. Typically, Scout-sponsored High Adventure Bases (e.g. Philmont, Northern Tier, Sea Base) have a long lead time, so we will need to gather an interested crew so we can register by January 14th, 2026.
