Welcome to Troop 1 North Caldwell

 “Our 89th Year”

Troop 1 Trailblazers have been chartered in North Caldwell since 1934 and are very proud to have had 139 young men earn the rank of Eagle Scout

Youth aged 11 – 18 are eligible to join Scouts BSA.  The Boy Scouts of America's objectives are to develop character, citizenship, and personal fitness.

Troop 1 meetings typically occur every Thursday evening (when school is in session that day and there are no holidays) from 7:15pm – 8:45pm at Gould Elementary School on 132 Gould Ave, North Caldwell, NJ 07006.
