About Troop 840

More Than Camping. A Path to Leadership.

At Troop 840, the outdoors is our classroom.

With 8–10 camping adventures every year, Scouts are challenged to learn new skills, overcome obstacles, lead their peers, and discover what they're capable of.

For more than 50 years, Troop 840 has helped young people achieve, lead, and serve—both within Scouting and throughout our community.

145 Eagle Scouts.

50+ Years of Scouting.

A tradition of leadership and service.

From Scouting for Food and the Treasure Coast Food Pantry to Eagle Scout projects that strengthen our community, our Scouts learn that leadership isn't just about what you accomplish—it's about what you do for others.
