Description
Newsletter Article 2019
Troop 41 was established in 1949 and has 70 years of history partnering with the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church, working with youth, and serving the Sugar Grove Community.
To commemorate the 70th Anniversary of Troop 41, Scouts from the past and present gathered together for personal interviews and fireside chats to tell their stories.
Their stories begin with the history of Sugar Grove and the Sugar Grove Community Building that Troop 41 has called home since 1949. They recount favorite memories of adventures, misadventures, campouts, and special projects. Then Scouts from the past pass on their words of wisdom and encouragement to the younger and future scouts.
Our Chaplain and previous Scoutmaster Dave Seraphin observed that while the Scouts from the past told their stories, they turned back into 12-year old boys right in front of his eyes.
Here are the stories from the Scouts in their own words.
