Greetings from the Scoutmaster
Welcome to the 2008 / 2009 Scouting year in Troop 220.  
Our next "big event" is our October camping trip to our Milky
Way Farm site the weekend of 10/17 - 19, and our CoH
ceremony will be held on Saturday evening at 7pm.  We
hope to see everyone in the Troop 220 Scouting family at the
CoH."

Greetings from our Senior Patrol Leader
We are a scout-led Troop, and I am here to help.  Please
continue to make suggestions regarding how we can improve
as a Troop, and I will do my best to make that happen.

Feb, 2008  Highlights:
What Can Troop 220 Offer You?
Our Troop was chartered in the early 1980s, and we are very much a scout-led
Troop.  We typically have 40-50 active scouts, and we welcome new scouts each
year.  We maintain a very busy calendar of activities and camping trips, and we are
proud to hold one of the highest Eagle Scout output rates in Chester County Council.
