Welcome!

Troop 375 is headquartered in Bellbrook Ohio. We have over 50 scouts and Scouters. Our Troop balances boy’s busy lives with the Scouting program with over 40% of our scouts making Eagle in a low pressure environment.  Fun with a purpose is what founder Lord Baden Powell called Scouting and we do both.

Hot Topics

March 6-13 - Scouting for Food Tell your neighbors! Tell your friends! Scouting for Food starts Saturday March 6th and runs until the following Saturday, March 13th.  With a big thanks to Dot's supermarket, our troop will have 2 receptacle boxes out for people to donate non-perishables. All food collected will be given to help replenish our local Greene County food pantry. This is a great opportunity to help those struggling right here in our own community. Please make a point to stop by Dot's sometime during the week and make a contribution! Don't forget to tell your friends!  Let's show that Troop 375 cares!

April 24 - Christina Miller, Director of A Great Start Preschool (located in Hope Church), has asked our Troop to assist in Clean-Up following their annual consignment sale. She stated, "Our annual consignment sale is the preschool's largest fundraiser, and we rely on volunteers to help our sale run smoothly. We are looking for extra help beginning around 3:00pm to break down tables, take out trash, vacuum, and take some items to charity." Please contact Royce Cross if you are interested in helping out.
