About Troop 27
Troop 27 was formed in November 2007, sponsored by the Fox Island
Community and Recreation Association. We now have 18 boys aged 10
1/2 to 15 years old, in three patrols. We are a "High Adventure"
unit, committed to doing at least one outdoor adventure every month.
The Troop was voted 'Troop of the Year' in the Tacoma/Gig Harbor
area in 2008, and we have earned the Centennial Quality Unit Award
the past 2 years in a row; for excellence in program, advancement,
youth retention and trained leadership.
We have 6 Assistant Scoutmasters and six additional Committee
Members in our troop leadership. Three of us are Eagle Scouts, and
Scoutmaster John Ohlson
was named 'Scoutmaster of the Year' in 2008.
We meet twice a month on the second & third Monday of the month, and
go on one outdoor outing a month; usually camping, hiking, biking or
some other cool adventure.
We have a strong focus on youth leadership and advancement, with
seven Star Rank Scouts and six First Class Scouts after our first
two years.
We participate in a wide variety of
outdoor activities, including
Camping, Backpacking, Hiking, Mountain Biking, Canoeing, Rowing,
Climbing, Swimming, Archery, Rifle Shooting, Snow Camping, Survival
Training, and much much more.
In November, 2010, Venture Crew 27 was formed
