BOY SCOUT TROOP 403 Serving the men of Claremont for 60 years

Boy Scout Troop 403 is co‐sponsored by Claremont Presbyterian Church and Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church in Claremont, . We are proud to have guided over 85 Eagle Scouts since 1957.

Our troop meets on Tuesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. at Claremont Presbyterian Church. The first Tuesday of each month is reserved for our Scout Leadership planning meetings. We have monthly outings and attend scout camp every summer. We perform year‐round community service projects, earn merit badges, and work diligently toward scout advancement throughout the year. See the reverse side for a list of recent activities.

Come check us out! Boys who are 11‐18 years old, or 10‐year‐olds who have finished the fifth grade or earned their Arrow of Light award, are eligible to join Boy Scouts. Our troop members are involved in a variety of activities—AP and IB academics, music, church youth groups, AYSO, Little League, and school sports including cross country, water polo, swimming, tennis, basketball, and football—and still enjoy the fun, camaraderie, and character building opportunities provided by Scouting.
