About the BOC

The Brattleboro Outing Club (BOC) is one of the oldest civic outdoor sporting associations in the United States. Founded in 1921 by local sportsman Fred Harris, the BOC was formed to “encourage, develop, and promote family outdoor life and good fellowship.”

The first BOC dues were $5 for men, $2 for women, and $1 for school children. Today, the volunteer member dues are still an impressively low $25 per individual adult and $10 per junior member.
