About Troop 83

Troop 83 is located in Kenilworth NJ. Troop 83 has operated since the 1980s, and is sponsored by the Kenilworth Veterans' Center. The Troop is also closely affiliated with Cub Scout Pack 83, which operates out of St Theresa's Church in Kenilworth. In 2021, Troop 83 has approximately 25 youths in the troop, coming from Kenilworth, Union, Cranford, Clark, Elizabeth, Linden, Livingston and many other local towns.

We pride ourselves in being "youth led." The more experienced Scouts teach the newer Scouts the fundamentals of Scouting, and organize the meetings and events. Sometimes this can be messy, but we feel that it is important that the Scouts organize themselves rather than the parents.
