Welcome to Troop 3143

At Troop 3143, we create leaders. Our troop provides a program for young people that build character, train them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.

 

 We are very active in the outdoors and in the community. We camp monthly, including a full week of summer camp and some of the older scouts will have the opportunity to backpack for two weeks in New Mexico. Our camps are filled with fun and activities including rafting, skiing, hiking are a few to name.

Scouting America Annual Registration and Troop Dues for 2026

Posted on Dec 29 2025 - 3:21pm
It's time to renew your membership with Scouting America. Most of you should have received an email from Scouting America letting you know your membership will expire on 12/31/25. If you joined the troop in the past two years, your membership will renew the same month you joined but troop dues are still due at this time. You have the option to click the link in the email to renew your membership, or you can pay the troop, and we will process your renewal. In addition to the Scouting America fee, the annual troop dues for 2026 will be $100 and are to be paid to the troop.
