Brady started his scouting career in 4th grade after seeing all the fun his big brother was having at Yawgoog summer camp.

He jumped into scouting making friends and taking on new adventures. Brady developed many scout skills along the way with emphasis on

camp cooking, earning the silver spatula many times. He served as ASPL and Senior patrol leader developing his friendly leadership style, always with

respect towards others. He is also a member of the Order of Arrow with a leadership role and is an instructor for NYLT. Brady has been part of all that scouting

has to offer including many summers at camp Yawgoog, climbing Mt. Marcy, AT hikes, countless campouts and High adventure at Philmont in New Mexico.

Brady's Eagle project entailed building Bocce ball courts at the town community center with support from the town, fellow scouts and friends. 

A big congratulations to Brady Moy!

Troop 156 celebrates as Leo Dittenhoffer has his Eagle ceremony. Leo, now a Senior at UCONN, was disrupted by Covid and finally was

able to celebrate with the troop during our May court of honor at the JB Williams pavilion. Leo had over 11 years in his scouting career with many

camping trips, including the AT hike, Mt. Monadnock, Deer lake, Urban hikes in Boston and NY city, as well as many weeks at Camp Yawgoog during

the summers. Leo worked with the Audubon society to construct a composting system for his Eagle project. Congratulations Leo!

Troop 156 welcomes 7 Webelos from Pack 241 that recently crossed over after completing their arrow of light award.

We're super excited to have you join our troop and continue your scouting journey.

8 scouts and 4 adults navigated the Farmington River with only a few scouts entering the water. :)

Scouts learned why food storage and camp cleanliness is important as a black bear was seen near

their American Legion Forest campsite. Lots of fun, stories and memories to share.

Troop 156 enjoyed beautiful weather in Glastonbury as they camped at Camp Neipsic. The scouts used their orienteering skills to navigate a 5 mile course

through JB Williams Park and returned to build an impressive Monkey Bridge. The Monkey bridge tested their knot tying and lashing skills, which turned out

to be one of the best built bridges in recent memory. Dinner brought out the scouting chef as they competed using two special ingredients, while others practiced

their dutch oven and foil meal cooking skills. Finally, the evening ended with skits, songs and a story filled campfire program, along with a flag retirement ceremony.

Troop 156 provided food for the South Park Inn. 

Thank you to the Glynns, the O'Keefes, James Pagliughi and Mr. Moy for supporting this effort.
