Who Can Join Troop 180 Carmel and How to Contact Them

Updated

Troop 180 Carmel is a family troop that now accepts girls as well as boys, and the way to get started is to reach out through the site's contact form. The troop's page states it "is now accepting girls" after electing, together with its sponsor the Golden Key Kiwanis, to become a family troop. If you want details on eligibility for your own child, the page directs you to contact the troop for more information rather than listing age or rank requirements itself.

What the site says about who can join

The only membership detail published on the page is the change to family troop status:

  • Troop 180, with its sponsor the Golden Key Kiwanis, has elected to become a family troop.
  • As a result, the troop is now accepting girls.
  • The page invites interested families to make contact for more information.

That is the full extent of what the site states about eligibility. It does not publish age ranges, grade levels, rank requirements, or any other joining criteria, so those specifics should be confirmed directly with the troop.

How to contact Troop 180

The page provides a contact route through its "JOIN US" section, which includes a form with a submit button and a confirmation message ("Thanks for submitting!"). To use it:

  1. Go to the Troop 180 Carmel site and find the "JOIN US" section.
  2. Fill in the form fields and submit it.
  3. Watch for a response from the troop with information about joining.

The page also invites visitors to follow the troop on its social channels ("COME AND FOLLOW US ON:"), which is a secondary way to keep up with announcements.

What you can learn from the news section

The page's news items give a sense of the troop's activity and history:

Item Detail
Newest Eagle Scout Spencer S. became an Eagle Scout on 11/20/25
Troop milestone Spencer is the 96th Eagle Scout for Troop 180 since 1994

These details are useful context if you are weighing whether the troop's program and track record fit your family, but they are not joining requirements.

Practical next steps

  • If your child is a girl and you were unsure whether the troop was open to her, the page confirms it now is.
  • Because no age or rank criteria are published, ask about them in your message rather than assuming.
  • Use the "JOIN US" form as the primary contact method, and check the troop's social channels for updates in the meantime.
