Welcome to Scouting and Troop One
Welcome to Scouting and Troop One
We are in the midst of a rebuilding year, getting back to outdoor camping, learning scout skills, and having fun. It has been a challenging time, but we have seen Scouts learn new skills, make progress in ranks, earn Eagle, and venture outside. We worked on scout skills on an overnight at Highland Forest, climbed Bald Mountain with its Rondaxe Fire Tower in the Adirondacks, rafted on the Salmon River in Oswego County, and backpacked to a leantoo on Hunter Mountain in the Catskills. This Sunday (Sept 22), we will build and operate a bouldering wall at the Wescott Street festival. Why not join us there and learn more about our program.

We are proud of the balanced program we offer which integrates skill and leadership development with outdoor fun, high adventure, and community service. It clearly has had an the impact on the lives of our Scouts. Just ask any of the more than 50 scouts that have earned Eagle Scout over the last 35 years. They will tell you that Scouting has shaped their lives and that for fun and adventure, Troop One is the place to be.

Outdoor Program:
Outdoor Program:
The outdoor program we are planning for the year would progressively introduce Scouts to camping in the outdoors. It would move from day trips to overnights nearby and then to longer overnight stays in the Adirondacks or other locations. Trips we are considering include: climbing Mt Ampersand in the Adirondacks, orienteering at Pratts Falls and Highland Forest (Scout O), a winter overnight in a cabin a Highland Forest, Snowshoeing at Beaver Lake, a spring break trip to New York City to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and a week at Scout Summer Camp.
