We are located in Ocean City Maryland.  

Our weekly meetings are used to prepare for upcoming campouts, learn Scout Skills, work on Merit Badges and hang out and have fun with the other guys in the Troop.  We have a very active group of parent volunteers, and together we are moving to a Boy Led Troop.  

We camp once a month - some months we tent camp, some we cabin camp.  Normally we go within a 2 hour drive and our typical trips cost about $35.00 per Scout. We also do an annual Ski Trip, a Navy Football Game and have some Scouts attend a summer NYLT program.

Once a month the Scout and Adult Leadership meet (the rest of the troop is off that Monday night) to plan the meeting agendas and upcoming trips. We meet primarily during the school year and don't meet if Stephen Decatur is off for a Snow Day.  

During the summer we attend a week long camp and each year we go to a different camp - Henson Scout Reservation, Rodney Scout Reservation and Keowa on the 10 Mile River Scout Reservation are a few of the most recent summer camps.

Our Troop has been in existence for over 60 years and we have a large roster of Eagle Scouts.

Thank you for considering our troop, please contact us if you have any questions or would like to come see if Troop 261 is the right fit for your family.
