Welcome back to Troop 1 for 2008-09

Latest Troop 1 Events

 

Troop 1 attempts to plan an event at least once a week (other than the weekly Troop meeting every Wed. night). We plan a major trip about once a month whether it is backpacking, car camping or just a quick overnight mountain biking trip. In addition, the TROOP also arranges and takes part in assorted community service activities. For quick reference to the latest information and location of where we will be going, please refer to our activities link located and below.
