Troop 226
Preparing Our Youth For Life.
EST. 1970
Welcome To Scouting
Our Scouting troop invites boys ages 11-17 (grades 5-12) to a safe, fun place to learn, explore, and grow.
Shomer Shabbat Scouts BSA Troop 226 is chartered by the Jewish Center of Teaneck to serve our communities youth by instilling the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
We are committed to creating a welcoming, safe environment where Scouts can freely express themselves, share their experiences, and become the best version of themselves by learning from and respecting each other.
In our Scouting program, Jewish values guide our journey. We create a warm, respectful space where Scouts can explore their faith, share their stories, and learn from each other. Together, we grow as a community, becoming the best versions of ourselves.
Scout's Motto
"Be Prepared."
Our Mission
The mission of our Scouting program is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
Scout Law
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Scout Oath
“On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”
The Value of Scouting
Discovery is at the heart of Scouting. Whether it’s a campout, or hike on the trail, we believe every adventure helps us uncover a little more about ourselves. We build the foundations for humility and compassion—strengthening character through actions—to prepare youth for a lifetime of leadership.
Prepared. For Life.
Scouting teaches youth to confront any challenge with whole hearts and clear minds—to live their lives without regret, never back down, and do their very best!
Scouting is the Difference
Our unique programs focused on character development, leadership and outdoor exploration provide a lifetime of benefits!
Compared to non-Scouts, Scouts are more likely to:
Embrace positive
social values
Develop kindness, helpfulness, and cheerfulness
Have a greater sense of hope for their future
