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!

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.

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, 12 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.
