Troop 69 Competitors

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Troop 42 is a very strong and active organization for the youth of our community. We have an extremely dedicated and active parent group. Our Scoutmaster, Dave Ptacek and our many committed Assistant Scoutmasters, work hard to train all our young men to achieve beyond their potential. We are a unit of the Red Cedar District of the Hawkeye Area Council located in wonderful Cedar Rapids, Iowa. As some have put it, not Idaho where they grow potatoes or Ohio where they have Buckeyes - Iowa where they grow more corn than any other state. Last, but certainly not least, we are excited to be associated with our charter organizations, St Pius X and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Churches. Please enjoy your visit and make sure you look at all of the pages. We have a lot here to look at. Return often because our webmaster is always hard at work updating our site.

Summer Camp 2020 will be July 19 to 26 at Yawgoog! Boy Scouts of Old Greenwich Troop 11 pull their Klondike sled in the snow during the annual Greenwich Boy Scouts Klondike Derby at the Ernest Thompson Seton Reservation in Greenwich, Conn., Saturday, Jan. 24, 2015. The snow provided the perfect environment to test the survival skills of Greenwich Boy Scout Troops and Boy Scouts from the Algonquin District of the Westchester-Putnam Council. Each troop used a Klondike dog sled loaded with their personal and patrol equipment as they competed at various outdoor survival skills stations. Boy Scouting is for boys who are 11, or are at least 10 years old and have completed the fifth grade or have earned the Cub Scout Arrow of Light Award, through 17 years old. Boys experience a vigorous outdoor program and peer group leadership with the counsel of an adult Scoutmaster to achieve the BSA's objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness. Camping, fun with friends -- and more. Its the adventure of a lifetime. For additional information on Scouting click here to visit the Boy Scouts of America website.
