Troop Details
We typically meet twice a month
Our Troop meets two Mondays per month from 7:00-8:30pm at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and we have a camping trip or activity each month.
Our Troop is Scout led and adult guided. Patrols are aligned by age to promote Patrol Spirit and provide leadership opportunities.
Youth Leaders participate in annual required leadership training to understand their role and learn to lead effectively. And are encouraged to attend additional youth training.
Adult leaders regularly participate or lead ongoing training over and above Scouting America requirements.

Here are some details regarding the backpacking meeting on 3/23.
During this meeting, we will be learning how to use a compass and map to find your way in the woods. We will also be learning about how to pack a backpack and what items people need to thrive on a backpacking trip.
We ask all scouts to bring a backpack, packed with what they believe they would need for an overnight camping trip (minus a tent). These are useful skills that scouts will need to be successful during our backpacking campout in April.
Calling all members of Scouting America. Scouts and families are invited to the kickoff of our Religious Emblems Program on Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 9:00–11:00 AM. This orientation will help you get started on completing your age appropriate Religious Emblem. Cub Scouts work on Emblems with your family and Middle and High School youth participate in a small group with a Religious Emblem counselor. If you have questions, reach out to Colleen Trevisani colleen217@yahoo.com 585 672 5568. For more info and to register: https://scoutingevent.com/397-religiousemblemorientation
Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged.
Summer camp builds confidence, independence, friendships, and outdoor skills. Troop leadership believes camp should be a place for Scouts to explore the outdoors and try activities they may not have access to at home. Rather than focusing on completing large numbers of Eagle-required merit badges (which can be earned locally throughout the year), Scouts are encouraged to take advantage of the unique experiences, facilities, and opportunities available at camp.
The information below is intended to help your family decide which option works best for your Scout. Scouts may attend either or both camps, as each offers a different experience and strong opportunities for growth and fun.

To learn more about each camp visit their websites:
Effective January 1, 2026, all Scouts and adults attending campouts will be required to have a current medical form on file, including Part C with a physician’s signature. As a reminder we require 3 legible copies of the complete medical form. It is always good practice to keep one copy for your own records.
If you submitted a completed medical form for this past summer camp, you are all set until one year from the date that form was signed. You will need a new form for next summer camp, but these can be requested at any time and will remain valid for one year from the date signed.
Updated Forms for Changing Conditions: If you or your child’s medical condition changes at any time (for example, a new diagnosis or change in medication), you may request an updated medical form from your healthcare provider. All medications listed on the form must exactly match any medications brought to campouts, especially summer camp.
New Incentive: Scouts will not be able to sign up for merit badges for summer camp until a fully completed medical form has been submitted. Troop leaders will review medical forms for accuracy within 72 hours of submission. Please note that submitting forms last minute could delay your ability to register for merit badges, as this review step is required. This change is being implemented to eliminate the significant burden last‑minute submissions place on Troop volunteer leadership.
Quick FAQ
Do I need a new medical form now? If you turned in a completed form for summer camp this past year, you’re covered until one year from the date it was signed.
When do I need a new form? Before your current form expires or before next summer camp—whichever comes first.
Can I request a new form at any time? Yes! You can get the form from your physician whenever it’s convenient, and it will remain valid for one year from the date it’s signed.
What if my child’s medical condition changes? You may request an updated medical form at any time. Medications listed on the form must exactly match any medications brought to campouts, especially summer camp.
When can my Scout sign up for merit badges? Only after a fully completed medical form (including Part C) has been submitted and reviewed by troop leaders.
