Pumpkin Unloading
Traditions are a great way to help scouts and parents bond and at the heart of 146's culture. You can go to our Traditions page to get a full listing of our more notable traditions.
Troop 146, a scouting group in West Hartford, CT, is a diverse and inclusive community where scouts educate scouts through applied learning and fun activities, while building character and preparing leaders for today and the future. It's a place that is committed to one and other's achievement and expanding opportunities.

We meet Thursday evenings from 7:15 - 8:30 PM at the West Hartford United Methodist Church on New Britain Avenue. Come by and check us out to see if we're the troop for you.
All hands on deck. Each fall, the United Methodist Church of West Hartford becomes a town favorite pumpkin wonderland. Troop 146 joins in this tradition by unloading a truck full of pumpkins. View more 146 traditions
Not your typical derby. Steeped in a tradition since 1949, Scouts make a sledge (sled-like equipment transport) and race through a course that has stations where patrols are tested on their Scoutcraft skills and their leadership abilities, earning points towards a total score. The troop with the highest score wins the derby!

This annual ski, snowboarding and snow tubing trip is a great way to enjoy winter fun with fellow scouts and family! After a full day of activities, scouts camp out at Camp Strang. It is also a great way to earn your Snow Sports Merit Badge.
