About Troop 46
Teaching young people self-reliance since 1957 (at least!)
Troop 46 offers a lively program of weekly meetings, outdoor activities, and special events that help young people learn new skills and grow in confidence. Scouts take part in camping, hiking, service projects, and regular Courts of Honor where their achievements are celebrated and recognised.
A Brief History
Troop 46 is one of Germany’s oldest Scouts BSA troops and was the first BSA troop established behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. Active in Berlin since at least 1952, the troop has long been a part of the American community in the city while remaining open and welcoming to families from many backgrounds. Over the decades, it has guided generations of young people in making ethical and moral choices throughout their lives
