How to Join or Contact Boy Scout Troop 236 in Long Valley, NJ

Updated

Boy Scout Troop 236 is a Scouting unit based at Saint Mark the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, 59 Spring Lane, Long Valley, NJ 07853. If you want to join or get in touch, start with the Join page on troop236bsa.org for current joining steps, and use the Contact Us page for direct questions. The troop also lists a webmaster email, [email protected], but that address is for site-related questions rather than membership inquiries.

What Troop 236 Is

Troop 236 was started in 1986 and is located on Schooley's Mountain in Long Valley, New Jersey. The site is maintained by volunteer Scouts. It states that it is not an official Scouting America website, and that its information has not been approved by Patriots' Path Council or Scouting America — so treat the site as a troop-run resource, not an official council channel.

How to Start the Joining Process

  1. Go to troop236bsa.org.
  2. Open the Join page. This is where the troop's current joining steps are posted.
  3. If you have questions before or during that process, use the Contact Us page.
  4. Use the Calendar page to see upcoming meetings and activities, which can help you decide whether to visit.

The site does not publish a phone number or a general membership email in the material available, so the Join and Contact Us pages are the intended paths for prospective members.

What the Troop Does

The site's navigation and highlights give a sense of the program:

  • Camping Equipment and Summer Camp — core outdoor and seasonal activities
  • High Adventure — older-Scout trips and challenges
  • Klondike Derby — the site highlights its 2026 Klondike Derby teams
  • Boston Freedom Trail — a completed scout trip
  • Annual wreath hanging in support of the food pantry — a service tradition
  • In the News, Our Eagle Scouts, and Our Distinguished Leaders — recognition and history pages

Reviewing these pages before contacting the troop helps you ask more specific questions about fit, schedule, and age level.

Common Pitfalls

  • Emailing the webmaster about membership. That address is described as being for the site, maintained by volunteer Scouts. Use Contact Us for troop questions.
  • Assuming the site is official. The troop states it is not an official Scouting America site and that content has not been approved by Patriots' Path Council or Scouting America. For official registration or policy questions, confirm with the council as well.
  • Skipping the Join page. Joining steps can change; the Join page is the troop's own current guidance, so check it rather than relying on older information.
