Our Patrol Leaders Council has put together an outstanding program for Troop 55.  Ready for some action?  Great!  Our 2007/2008 season will have plenty of outdoor adventure, including backpacking, hiking, camping, sailing, fishing, skiing, theme parks, high adventure, and summer camp.  We also will have our continuing programs in Adopt-a-Highway, Scouting for Food, and fundraising.

Click on any month in the selection bar to the left to see our detailed schedule when it becomes available.  Look for highlighted text hotlinks to activity destinations.  In addition, hotlinks to permission slips to monthly outings will appear just below the outing title when available.  Payment of the outing fee cited in the permission slip may be made by personal check (made out to BSA Troop 55), or through submittal of a debit request form to a scout's Mulch Account or a parent's Transportation Account:
