Welcome to Troop 616's web site

We have put together this information to help you get acquainted with Troop 616. Our troop offers monthly adventures such as camping, backpacking, snowboarding, canoeing, white water rafting, cycling, fishing, rock climbing and shooting model rockets. Troop 616 also provides bi-monthly meetings filled with hands-on activities, games and planning for upcoming weekend activities. By participating in the weekend activities and Troop meetings, Scouts have fun, create lasting friendships, and learn important skills. Scouts learn skills that range from cooking at a campout, to using a compass, to learning first aid techniques. Specific skills are described in your Boy Scout Handbook. Scouts are recognized for their achievements by advancing to higher level ranks, earning merit badges, and dozens have reached the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout.

Order New Troop T-Shirts Now

Posted on May 22 2013 - 9:30pm

Very soon I will be ordering the new troop activity t-shirts.  The vote is in:  silver/gray background, with our usual green and gold troop emblem on front and back.  These will be microfiber wicking shirts, not cotton.
I need to know ASAP but NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 29 if you want to order a shirt(s) and what size -- all youth and adult sizes available, up to XXXL.  Keep in mind boys grow fast so order shirts that allow room to grow.  We recommend taking 3 shirts to summer camp.  Approximate price will be $15 per shirt.
Extra shirts will be ordered for future purchases.
E-mail me ASAP with your shirt size and quantity. Attached is the approximate look of the new shirt.
Many thanks, Mrs. Heckman
