| About Troop 55 |
|
Troop 55 is a boy scout troop in Cedar Falls, Iowa. We meet at Cedar Heights
Elementary School every Monday at 7 p.m. during the School Year. We belong to the
Wabuha District and the Winnebago Council. Troop 55 currently has 30 active scouts and is
lucky to have very active leadership. We believe in the Boy Scout principles and are truely scout lead.
Troop 55 means CAMPING! We camp all year, even in the winter. We try and have one High Adventure every year. January, 2007,and January, 2008, we were at Okpik in Minnesota. March 2008, we were at Sea Base in Florida. August 2008, we canoed over 50 miles in the Flambeau River in Wisconsin. In July, 2009, we will have 9 scouts and 3 scouters at Philmont in New Mexico. This year, 4 scouts (3 returning and 1 first year attending) attended the Eagle Claw Youth Leader Training Course. They learned leadership principles, and Leave no Trace camping while having fun and backpacked over 50 miles in the Big Horn Mountains. Two years ago, our Troop spent a week at Rocky Mountain National Park, hiking, camping and white water rafting. We are fortunate enough to have adults who are very active and committed to Troop 55. We often will have nearly one adult to every scout at the camp outs. Our scouts have a campout nearly every month packed with lots of fun and activities. Summer Scout camp is a very important part of our Troop and in 2006 we had 20 Scouts and 7 adults at camp. Once again, we have earned the Quality Unit Award for 2008.  We believe service is an important part of scouting and do many projects for the community. Our goal is to do one Troop Service Project every month. We were recognized with the Governors Volunteer Award for 10 years of Community Service. |
