Welcome!

Troop 223 is the local Boy Scout troop located in Twinsburg, Ohio. This troop is chartered locally by the First Congregational Church of Twinsburg, at 9050 Church Street (on the square) in Twinsburg. This year-round program for boys 11 through 17 is designed to achieve the goals of Scouting through a vigorous outdoor program and peer-group leadership with the counsel of an adult Scoutmaster.

Regular meetings are held every Tuesday night from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM, usually in the basement of the First Congregational Church. Mr. Jeff Geither, an Eagle Scout himself, is our Scoutmaster.

Troop 223 camps out every month (yes, even in January and February). We camp in tents, cabins, or Adirondack huts (three-sided cabins). Our goal is to provide an educational program for boys and young adults to build character, to train in the responsibilities of participating in citizenship, and to develop personal fitness.

Boy Scout meetings and campouts are always supervised by a minimum of two adults, but troop members themselves are responsible for planning and running the meetings and campouts. And it’s not all knot-tying and first aid – the boys also learn about cooking, outdoor safety, biking and canoeing.
