Boy Scouts Troop #60:

As a member of Boy Scouts of America, we are a service organization for boys aged 11 - 18. We focus on developing leadership in the boys and teaching them outdoor skills and life skills life first aid, knots and personal management. We are an outdoor troop doing camping, backpacking, canoeing, and cycling. We do a weekend outing every month of the year. Some of our bigger annual activities include President's Day weekend at the Scout lodge near Mission Ridge (for skiing and snowshoeing), a week-long summer camp in July (locally or in Oregon and Idaho), a week of hiking, biking, or canoeing (50+ miles for older boys). In December we do an overnighter in the gym to play video games, watch movies and just chill out. The Boy Scouts meet every Tuesday night from 7:30pm - 9:00pm, in the gym. Please contact Chris Frary (Scoutmaster) at [email protected] or Greg LeBlanc (Committee Chair) at [email protected] for more information, or just come and join us at our weekly meeting.
