Troop 43 History
Watertown Boy Scout Troop 43 has more than 60 years of history in Watertown helping boys grow into men. We usually have about two dozen activities a year, including multiple volunteer opportunities through churches, natural resources and veteran's groups. We aim to have about fifteen to thirty active boys in the troop, supported by an equally active committee of about a dozen leaders including multiple trained Scoutmasters.
Mission Statement
Troop 43 is committed to developing character, citizenship, mental and physical fitness and leadership skills in our young scouts through a program that is both fun and challenging.

The boys of Troop 43 usually like to switch camps each year to maximize their experiences with different types of camping and areas of the state.
