Troop 728
Troop 728 will travel to Scouts BSA’s Philmont High Adventure Base in New Mexico this August! We are raising funds to defray the $2K per Scout cost. Click HERE to find out how YOU can help Scouts from Northern Manhattan and the Bronx make this once-in-a-lifetime adventure a REALITY!
Troop 728 welcomes incoming Scoutmaster David Russell! David, a professional photographer and Inwood resident, is a long-time and super enthusiastic Scouter, with a son in the troop. Thank you, David, for taking on this responsibility. We don’t know anyone better suited to the task and we expect great things, like this cool new logo by your friend (and new friend of the troop) Designer Alan Greco)!
To join Scouts BSA Troop 728, a boy or girl must have finished the 5th grade, earned the Arrow of Light Award or be between the ages of 11 and 18.

Our most recent summers have taken us white-water rafting, mountain climbing and week-long camps. Every year we try to squeeze in caving, biking, hiking, canoeing rock climbing, wilderness survival camping, outdoor cooking competitions, rifle and shotgun shooting events, and orienteering.
