Hiking
Cohasset scouts have climbed Mt. Monadnock, Mt. Greylock, and the Blue Hills. The troops also organize shorter day hikes in and around the South Shore.
Cohasset Scouts BSA is a scout-lead unit. The scouts elect their leaders, who set the agenda for the Troop’s activities and meetings. This provides leadership opportunities and training which are unmatched by other youth activities. Scouts are guided and supervised by a group of trained adult volunteers dedicated to providing the broad BSA program of activities, training and learning opportunities to all of our scouts.
Cohasset Scouts BSA scouts are leaders within scouting and in the community. The Troops are well represented in student government, varsity sports, music, arts and community groups. Scouting provides an opportunity to excel both within the program and develop leadership skills to excel in other activities.
Within scouting, Cohasset Scouts BSA has a high rate of scouts who commit to the program and attain Eagle Scout rank, not because it is easy (it isn’t), but because the scouts have established a culture of working together to achieve that high distinction.

Camping is a staple of the scouting experience. While many activities involve camping, Cohasset troops make a point to camp regularly at Wheelwright Park and the Harbor Islands... which is one of the more popular camp trips of the year.
Scouts have tackled indoor climbing at Challenge Rocks, done outdoor climbing at New England Base Camp and have even tried their hand at ice climbing.
Canoeing, Kayaking and white-water rafting are always popular events.
