There's more info about the trip in the May calendar along with a copy of the permisson slip. We'll be back at noon at the drop off point.

We are pleased to announce that Troop 9 has a new Eagle Scout.

 On Monday April 30, 2012 Tim M passed his Board of Review and became our Troops newest Eagle Scout.  Please join me in congratulating him on his accomplishment.

Troop 9 is heading back up to Camp Russell in the Adirondacks for a week from July 28 to Aug 4. Come swimming, boating, hiking and shooting with the troop. Everyone has a great time and there's always good food in the mess hall. Click below for more info.

The June camping trip will be our annual family outing to Hammonasset Beach State Park June 8 - 10. We will again be in the Mohegan loop.  Some of us tent camp, some bring their RVs. The troop can provide some equipment if needed. Reservations can be made at www.reserveamerica.com or by phone 1-877-668-2267. The campground only allows 6 people per site, but we may be able to double up some families.

Troop 9 is very proud of 4 of our Scouts earning BSA's highest rank of Eagle Scout. They will have their Court Honor this weekend.  Look for pictures in the coming week.

The troop was founded in 1962 by St. Gregory the Great Church which will make 2012 our Fiftieth year. Many boys have grown into manhood with the help of the troop. Friendships and memories have been created for a lifetime. From camping in the snow and rain to working as a patrol we all have learned skills that serve into adulthood. Past members hold leadership roles in the community and business worlds.

Troop 9 will be celebrating the Fiftieth year during the entire 2011 – 2012 school year. We are looking for Troop 9 Alumni - Scouts and Scouters who were members of Troop 9 from 1962 to the present. If you were just in for a year or two or are one of our many Eagle Scouts, please let us know. Any pictures or memorabilia from the troop history would also be welcome.

Please use the “Contact us” link to get in touch with the Troop and to join us for this year long fun filled celebration.
