Uniform Exchange

Our troop maintains a uniform exchange of experienced uniforms. We have mostly smaller size shirts and pants available for the asking. When your scout grows out of his uniform, we encourage you to donate excess items to our exchange for other scouts to use. Over time, we hope that the uniform exchange will help keep the cost of uniforming down for many families.

Fun Activities

  • Backpacking: Troop 1876 is a backpacking Troop. In the next year, we will be going on SIX backpacking trips! Some of our Scouts even went to New Mexico and backpacked 105 miles in 12 days! Backpacking is really fun and one of our favorite things to do. We also have many great things to eat when backpacking, like spaghetti, breakfast burritos, teriyaki chicken, and almost anything else you can think of. Our Troop likes to backpack at White Ranch, Rocky Mountain National Park, and anywhere else we can.
  • Biking: Our Troop also likes to go biking. Last year we went to Moab, Utah and did a 15 mile biking trip. Many of our Scouts have the cycling merit badge.
  • Camporees and Events: Our Troop also loves to staff and attend Camporees, Klondikes, and Webelos Weekends. In 2005, we had lots of Scouts staff cooking and BB guns at Camporee and in 2006, one of our Scouts ran Camporee! In 2007, we had several adults and a Scout on Council Camporee staff. We also had lots of our Scouts come to help at Webelos Weekend every year.
  • Photos: Photos of some of our events are available on the photos page. This should give you some idea of the great adventures we have!

Visiting Troop 1876

Webelos scouts are welcome to visit our troop meetings, activities, and Courts of Honor. As troop programs have different program emphases and styles, we encourage prospective members to visit a few of the troops in the area before making their final joining decision. Before visiting, shoot us an email to let us know when you're coming at scoutmaster@troop1876.org.

Annual Calendar

Our Annual Planning Worksheet is available for you to download. It contains information about where we are going for campouts and when, as well as monthly merit badges, scout skills, and special meetings. It is "SET IN JELLO", which means it is subject to change but for the most part it is accurate.
