Our Fort Greene based group, established in 2016, is 67th Wallabout Bay. Named for the body of water where the Brooklyn Navy Yard sits. The name of this curved bay on the western end of "Lang Eylandt" (Long Island) comes from the Dutch "Waal bocht", which means "Walloons' Bend", named for its first European settlers: the Walloons. The first ferry from Brooklyn to Lower Manhattan was operated from here in 1637.

To learn more about parent and family responsibilities as a member of 89th Flatbush Troop, go to the Parents page.

The 89th Flatbush troop was founded in 2017. So named from woods (“vlak” in Dutch) that grew on the relatively flat lands. During the 17th century, The Village of Flatbush was the center of life for what is now called Brooklyn containing one of the oldest churches, high schools and first highway in New York City.

The necker majority color is turquoise, with thin band of yellow and navy blue referencing the colors of the original flag of the Borough of Brooklyn.

Our troop was founded in 2022 when two smaller troops, 89th Flatbush and 1213th Windsor Terrace combined. Our troop includes the members, traditions, and enthusiasm of both original troops in one! Fun fact: 651 was selected as the new troop number because it is the average of numbers 1213 and 89!

This group is open to all registered BPSA scouts in Brooklyn 18 year old and over.
Why Rover? It is an opportunity to lead by example, serve our community, develop outdoor skills and enjoying the Game of Scouting together. If this resonates with you, contact the Membership Coordinator today for details on joining us!

The Rover Crew holds a regularly scheduled meeting one weekday every month with service projects, events and outdoor excursions on weekends and holidays.

Please Note: Membership in the 718th does not substitute for membership in another troop. We encourage all Rovers to also join their local troop so they may participate in all-ages activities as well as Rover crew specific events.
