We camp every month where young men practice scout skills, teamwork, and leadership. Our challenging, fun, and ultimately life changing "High Adventure" trips for older scouts are outstanding. Troop 76 are frequent winners of the "Golden Tent Peg" award for the most nights camping under the stars out of all troops in the district. We emphasize giving back to the community by supporting the town, over 170 Eagle Scout projects, FAVARH, Special Olympics, and especially Simsbury's veterans. Troop 76 meets every Thursday during the school year from 7:00 - 8:30PM at the First Church of Christ.
