Overview

Mission

Friends of Tehachapi Troop 3, Inc. is organized and operated for the charitable purpose of supporting Scout opportunities in the Greater Tehachapi Area. We support leadership and outdoor skill building pursuits through Scouting and we foster a strong sense of patriotism, community, and pride through the provision of resources and financial assistance.

What it reported doing in 2025

Friends of Tehachapi Troop 3 INC was able to raise enough funds to enhance the scouting program of Scouting America Troop 3 in Tehachapi, CA. These funds were used to purchase new tents for the troop, replacement cooking utensils, and repair the troop trailer. Additionally, these funds helped pay for campsite fees for the troop, rock-climbing instructor and equipment fees needed for the Rock Climbing merit badge, and replenish a "Scoutership" (scholarship) fund used to help cover membership fees for scouts from families facing financial hardship. Troop 3 has 33 youth members that have benefited in enhanced outdoor skill building and leadership activities as a result of these contributions.
