Join Troop 165
Walk into a Tuesday. See if it fits.
We are accepting new applicants at meetings weekly. The fastest way to know if this is your troop is to sit in the back of Rooney Hall and watch Scouts run the night.

Questions
Before you walk in
What ages can join?
Scouts BSA is for youth who have completed the fifth grade or are 11, through age 17. If you have a younger sibling, ask us about Cub Scout Pack 165 in Naples.
Do we have to belong to St. Ann?
No. St. Ann Catholic Church charters the troop and hosts our meetings. Scouts and families of any faith — or none — are welcome.
What should we bring the first night?
Yourselves. Comfortable clothes are fine. You will meet the Scoutmaster, watch a Scout-led meeting, and leave with a clear next step. Uniform and handbook come after you decide to join.
How much does it cost?
National and council registration, a handbook, and a uniform are the starting pieces. Troop dues and camping fees are explained at a meeting. Popcorn and other fundraisers help Scouts earn their own way to camp.
How often do you camp?
Once a month during the school year, plus a week of summer camp — generally out of state. Older Scouts also chase high-adventure trips.
Is the troop youth-led?
Yes. Patrols plan menus, adults advise, and the Senior Patrol Leader runs the meeting. That is the method — leadership by doing, not by lecture.
