Welcome to the New Webpage for BSA Troop 231

Welcome to the new Webpage for Troop 231 BSA!  Troop 231, established in 1931, is chartered by First Presbyterian Church, Hickory, NC.  This webpage will be used to distribute news about the troop, maintain a list of online resources, disseminate information, and provide an efficient tool for communication for the troop's events and activities to scouts in the troop.

If you are interested in learning more about scouting or Troop 231, I invite you to visit the website and stop in for a visit.  The troop meets on Tuesday nights at 7:00 pm in the scout room of the lower level of First Presbyterian Church.  Our address is 237 2nd Ave NE, in Hickory, NC.  We plan campouts for every month and attend scout camp each summer.

For more information, please send us an email or call Mark Roberts at 828-323-9970.

We look forward to seeing you!
