SCOUTS BSA
VENTURA, CA
Join Troop 1176
New or experienced. We want you!
If you're a female youth and new to Boy Scouts of America and are thinking about joining the Scouts BSA program, or if you are currently a Cub Scout looking for a troop to join, we hope that you'll consider Troop 1176. Scouting is a great program and Troop offers a wide range of opportunities for girls ages 10 to 18. Scout BSA troops vary widely in size, activities, and programs. When looking for a troop to join, it's important to make sure you find a "goodness of fit" — the leaders, scouts, activities and overall "feel" should be a good match. Troop 1176 sets our activities to best meet both the immediate and long term needs of our Scouts.
