Welcome to Troop 42 of New Fairfield,
sponsored by the Lions Club of New Fairfield, and
a member of the Scatacook District of the Connecticut Yankee Council, Boy Scouts of America

Join us!
We are a boy-led troop, offering a Scouting program with emphasis on camping and outdoor skills. Our Scouts actively practice the leadership skills they’ll use as adults. All boys age 11 to 17, in grades 6 or higher, are welcome to join us or to visit a meeting.   Please contact our Committee Chairman or Scoutmaster to arrange your visit to a meeting - we believe you’ll become one of our newest members.
