Boy Scout Troop 159 is sponsored by Our Lady Queen of Peace Church in Hewitt, NJ.
BOY SCOUTING is a year-round program for boys ages 11-17. Through the Boy Scout program, The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
For nearly a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes - and, through nearly a century of experience, knows - that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.

Welcome back to Troop 159!
We hope you had a fantastic summer, earned a lot of merit badges at summer camp and are ready to increase in rank.
NOTE: We'll be starting our weekly meetings again on 9/15 in the OLQP gym at 7:30pm. Please come in full uniform.
We have a lot of great and exciting things planned for the new year and hope you'll join us. This is "your" troop, and always look forward to suggestions in making our meetings and campouts more interesting, educational and fun.
