Our troop is where we are today because of the dedication and leadership of our scoutmasters. Below is a list of our Troop’s scoutmasters.
The list from 1924-2005 was researched by Jim & Kathy Maher and Jack Hannon.
The records available on microfiche at the Scout Center were of poor quality and very difficult to read. We regret any inadvertent omissions from this list.
The troop was chartered on 2/25/24 with 10 scouts and met at Franklin Sherman High School.
