  • Welcome

    Thank you for visiting our web site! We hope you find what you’re looking for. Troop 168, at Chapel Hill United Methodist Church has been raising up leaders through Scouting since 1964. Hundreds of boys have come through our Troop and MANY went on to receive their Eagle and become upstanding leaders in our community. We teach the Scouting Values through our many activities and outtings. Lord Baden Powell called it, “Fun with a Purpose”.

    We invite you to visit our Troop Meetings on Monday nights at 7:30 p.m. (Except for the Monday following a camp out). By visiting our Troop Meeting, you’ll meet our leaders and see us in action as we plan camping events and service projects. Better yet, you should join us on a camp out! Please contact our Scoutmaster, Mr. Jones, or our Committee Chairman, Mr. Cranford, if you have any questions.
