Scoutmaster Announcements Parent Volunteers Needed for Our Troop You might be surprised how many adults are needed to maintain a strong scouting program for Troop 76.  We offer scouts, your sons, leadership training, outdoor activities and adventures in an atmosphere of support and positive values.  The troop's volunteer adults help scouts become successful, independent and morally strong adults. Our scouts understand the value of community and civic responsibility. Even though the goal is a scout led troop, we rely on adult volunteers to support the organization and programs for scouts. A replenishing supply of adult leaders is needed.  Please volunteer by reaching out to the Troop Committee Chair, Nikhil Bahadur at nikhilba@gmail.com. Make memories with your son by being an active part of scouting.   Scoutmaster Michael Pearl mpearl0315@hotmail.com
