WELCOME All Scouts and Parent/Guardians to Troop 119 Scout-Year 2020-2021!  The 2020-2021 Scout year is underway in a format that supports the health and safety of our Scouts as they strengthen Leadership skills and advancement through the ranks towards Eagle Scout or just simply have FUN.  Youth empowerment and skill building for leadership are the cornerstones of Troop 119.  A Troop Run by Boys for Boys, where the Scouts are "in charge" and the adults provide support to the Scouts.  Adult Volunteers opportunities are available for everyone - Together We Support Better! The Troop Annual Planning meeting took place on August 28th, and the Scouts planned an exciting year filled with zoom-format as well as social-distance in-person meetings and activities. *COVID 19 Precautionary Measures in compliance with Larimer County Health Department

Congratulations to Troop 119 Eagle Scout Rank recipient during COVID Summer 2020!  Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmasters, Scouts, Parent Volunteers, Charter Organization, Committee Members, Family members, and Parents/Guardians of Troop 119 Congratulate YOU on your achievements! A Scout is always prepared, and this Scout forged through a pandemic to reach Eagle Scout rank! Since 1912, the Eagle Scout rank has represented a milestone of accomplishment—perhaps without equal—that is recognized across the country and even the world. Those who have earned the Eagle Scout rank count it among their most treasured achievements. “Eagle Scout” is not just an award; it is a state of being. Those who earned it as youth continue to earn it every day as adults. That is why an Eagle Scout IS an Eagle Scout—not was.  https://www.scouting.org/resources/guide-to-advancement/eagle-scout-rank/
