Our charter organization is Bethel Presbyterian Church. We meet there every Monday night at 7:30 pm.

Troop 215 believes that scouting should be primarily an outdoor experience. We hold a troop campout at least once a month and sometimes go on patrol and trail to first class campouts.

New scouts who are looking to join the troop can find information about us through this website. We have the answers to frequently asked questions for new as well as current members.

Our troop is made up of seven patrols: Eagle Patrol, Croc Patrol, Hawk Patrol, Dragon Patrol, Jaguar Patrol, Monkey Patrol, and Tiger Patrol.

We are beginning to post photos of troop events as we receive permission forms from troop members.

There are also forms on this site for upcoming campouts, medicals, and registration.You can see our monthly activies on our troop calendar. We also assist scouts to earn merit badges.

The Troop is now planning a trip to Sea Base in 2009 and the National Jamboree in 2010. For more information visit the trips page. We had a fun and successful trip to Gettysburg in April. 

An information sheet is available on the forms page from Greater Pittsburgh Council with details about the Pittsburgh contingent’s 2009 Philmont trip.
Currently, there are 30 spaces remaining for the trip scheduled between July 18 to August 1, 2009.
