About Troop 61
"Welcome Scouts and
parents. Our main goal is to give opportunities for our boys to learn leadership
and responsibility to run the troop. This way they will take on new challenges
and experience the everyday life that they will soon be thrust into. Scouting is
a game with a purpose."
-Kevin Flanagan, Scoutmaster of Troop
61
We in Troop 61 exemplify the very essence of Scouting but we
don't stop there. When many people think of Boy Scouts they think of camping,
hiking, and generally the outdoors. Although we do focus on things in that area
our views extend far beyond the great outdoors. We do rock climbing, sled
building, cooking competitions, and even sleeping in a submarine. Our leaders
are always open to new ideas for troop activities.
So we invite you to stop by and see for yourselves.
All are welcome: Webelos Scouts looking for a Boy Scout Troop Home and non-Scouts (min age 11) looking to start the adventure of Scouting.
