We are the Boys of Troop 160

BSA Troop 160 is a Scout Troop steeped in the ideals of the Boy Scouts of America. Troop 160 has been serving the youth of the Burholme community for over 80 years. The Troop has a strong network of volunteer men, both active and alumni, who strive to teach the boys the high standards of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Troop 160 is very proud to have had 68 boys work their way up through the ranks to become Eagle Scouts, the highest rank in scouting, throughout that time.
