Service and Troop 20
The Scout Oath, taken by each scout upon joining and repeated at every meeting, has at its core the promise “to help other people at all times.” Since 1927, Troop 20 has instilled this pledge to service as a guiding tenet. The young men and women of Troop 20 regularly dedicate themselves to help others however possible: creating Eagle Scout projects that improve our community in ways large and small, assisting in civic events, cleaning and maintaining the area’s natural landscapes, and donating both time and money to area charities.
