Welcome Adventurous Young Women!
The Girls provide their own leadership (Girl-led) for fun and challenging outdoor, overnight adventures from Hiking and Canoeing, to Archery and Survival-Skills.
We have weekly meetings during the School Year, and at least one over-night outing every month. Outings with Troop 166 can include hikes, snow camping, river-rafting, cycle-tours, and have even include staying overnight on a submarine!
We encourage scouts learning from each other, and helping each other advance through the Ranks. There are plenty of opportunities to learn new skills while working on Merit Badges, and we always make time for fun and games!

After more than a century developing its program to build character and leadership skills by learning and practicing outdoor skills, the BSA has finally recognized that you just can't get the same experience anywhere else. For those young women and their families that want that experience, BSA has opened the doors to truly welcome everyone!
We at Troop 166 have more than a 60 year record of providing that experience and have produced about 140 Eagle Scouts in that time with a program that is very much Scout-led. Our program is built around weekly meetings, Monthly over-night outings, regular Courts of Honor to recognize accomplishments, and a leadership structure that expects every scout to develop leadership skills.
BSA has determined the best way to provide the same leadership and learning opportunities for young women is to have a system of parallel Girls and Boys Troops. Girls Troops can be sponsored by the same Organizations and Adult Committee as a Boys Troop, or can be entirely independent.
We at Troop 166 believe our program will benefit most by having two parallel Troops: with Girls providing leadership for the girls and boys as leaders for the boys, (creating more leadership opportunities) while at the same time sharing the Adult Committee and Sponsoring Organization (Thank you Wedgwood Presbyterian Church!) The planning and sponsoring of the majority of our outings and events will be together, but we assume sometimes the girls and boys will want to do different things as their leadership councils decide.
