Welcome to the website of Troop 5!
Troops 5 is a troop for boys and girls. Troop 5’s charter organization is St. James Episcopal Church. Troop 5’s committee is made up from parents current and past, as well as past Scoutmasters. It is chaired by a past Scoutmaster and local community leader. Troop 5 developed and maintain this website in order to:
* Keep our Scouts and Scouting families informed.
* Share our adventures and knowledge with family, friends and the Scouting community.
* To help bring in new Scouts to our Troop.
* Let our community know about our Troop, their activities, and objectives.
* Encourage community support for our Troop and projects. Scouting has much to offer our community’s youth. Our Troops give back to the community by developing more responsible citizens and through numerous service projects.
The Troop goals can best be summed up by a quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt, “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” Feel free to join us as we help develop skills in our Scouts that will benefit them throughout their lives.
Troop meetings are Monday evenings from 7:00pm – 8:30pm during most of the year in the basement of St. James Episcopal Church in Goshen, Indiana. Enter through the back entrance with the green awning. We have no regularly scheduled meetings during July. You can contact our Troop Leaders at troop5in@gmail.com.
