The Scoutmaster
Norman Rockwell’s famous painting “The Scoutmaster”, 1956.

Troop 279 has been an active and robust Troop for over years, and its entirely due to active and robust adult leadership. We are very thankful for those who adorned the Scoutmaster patch, volunteering countless hours to lead this troop on the scouting trail!

All the Troop 279 Scoutmasters have strived to uphold the the scouting promise to every scout:

  • Hike in open country and camp under the stars
  • Learn how to enjoy the outdoors while leaving no trace
  • Become physically and mentally stronger
  • Practice leading yourself and others
  • Learn skills that will help back home
