Historical Overview:
Our scout troop was formed in 1956 by a group of dads who wanted to pass on their skills and love of scouting to their children. The fledgling troop started to meet in Epiphany Church's Parish Hall. They were there until the place burned down in a 5 alarm fire in December of 1963. They kept meeting there after the fires, though in the new parish hall that still stands today. The troop celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2006.
