When &
Where We Meet
Troop 101 meets every Monday
night at Elks Lodge #295 3851 Youngstown Rd. SE, Warren OH 44484
from 7:00 - 8:30.
What
We Do
Troop 101 camps every month
either at a Scout camp, a nearby state park or someplace else that is really cool.
In July we attend a week of Summer Camp where Scouts focus heavily on advancement as they
work toward their Eagle Rank. In August we take a special trip, usually a
week. Sometimes it is camping in Canada, some years it is a week-long bike trip,
other years we may canoe or backpack. Check out the Alumni site for a listing of all
our past camps and the Calendar for a list of our future ones!
Who
Can Join? 
Any boy who is 11 years old
or has completed the fifth grade. Click on the Recruiters patch to see the detailed
info that we pass out to new families.
Did
you used to be a Scout?
If
you were a Scout in this troop or any other and you are still less
than 18 years old, you can come back and still keep the credit for
any advancement or other things you did. If you would like
to know more, please send an
e-mail
and we would be happy to answer your questions! And we would
love to help you get back into the program!

A Brief History
Troop 101
started in 1975 and quickly grew to over 40
members. We
have been much bigger over the years and sometimes a bit smaller.
In 2005 the troop celebrated it's 30th anniversary and our 101st
Eagle Scout.
We are a very active troop and we
camp every
month.
Because we
are so active, we have a good deal of equipment, including a large gear
trailer, 17 canoes and a trailer, a sailboat, and all the tents and
camping gear that it takes to support the program. This way we can
do many different things with our own gear and keep the cost for
activities down, especially for those families that struggle with
finances.
We also do
our share of community service. We have annual projects for
Memorial Day, Flag Day, and a Salvation Army Christmas project.
Additionally, with over 100 Eagle Scouts performing a service project of
more than 100 hours each, we have put in over 10,000 hours of service
just with those.
We have
several Assistant Scoutmasters, a large and very active Troop Committee
as well as affiliations with Eagle's Wings and our Alumni Association.
We hope to continue our tradition of serving area youth for many years to come.
