This is a "boy led" troop with emphasis on teaching leadership ability as well as other important life skills and values. Outdoor adventures, service projects and other events are scheduled year-round, with at least one each month. It's not uncommon to have as many as three different outings and projects the boys can choose from. There are also weekly troop meetings where scouts can socialize and work on advancements and merit badges.

In addition to the traditional Boy Scout troop, this organization also includes a Venturing Crew made up of high school men and women. Many of the "V-crew's" activities involve high adventure skills such as rock climbing or wilderness camping.

Mike Nicholson is the Scoutmaster, leading a dedicated team of parents who are involved as committee members, assistant scout masters and volunteers. There are some 25 uniformed men and women adult leaders serving with Pat Heneghan as the Troop Committee Chair.

Troop 156 is proud to have a diverse culture comprised of different races and religions as well as age groups. This adds a wealth of experience for all of the scouts.
