What is Boy Scout Troop 236 in Long Valley, NJ?

Updated

Boy Scout Troop 236 is a Scouting troop based in Long Valley, New Jersey, started in 1986 and located on Schooley's Mountain. Its website, troop236bsa.org, is a volunteer-maintained information hub for the troop's activities, news, and Scouting resources. It is not an official Scouting America website, and its content has not been approved by Patriots' Path Council or Scouting America.

Who the troop is and where it meets

Troop 236 operates out of Saint Mark the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church at 59 Spring Lane, Long Valley, NJ 07853. The troop traces its start to 1986 and identifies itself with Schooley's Mountain, the area of Long Valley where it is based.

Because the site is run by volunteer Scouts, treat it as a troop-level resource rather than an official council or national publication. For anything binding — registration, policy, or advancement rules — confirm with Patriots' Path Council or Scouting America directly.
