Parent Volunteers Needed for Our Troop
You might be surprised how many adults are needed to maintain a strong scouting program for Troop 76. We offer scouts, your sons, leadership training, outdoor activities and adventures in an atmosphere of support and positive values.
There are a number of functions where we need volunteers. Most important is our next fundraiser, The Father’s Day 5K race. We need at least 3 volunteers by the first week of May for the event to take place.
Scheduled for June 15th at the Ridgefield High School cross-country course, the Father’s Day 5K race needs your help in marketing, sponsorship, race management, and others functions.
Other troop volunteers needed are:
- Merit Badge Coordinator to organize our counselors and coordinate with council.
- Webelos Adventure College, a recruiting/fundraiser, where groups of leaders and scouts teach Webelos Adventure Badges. This will be hosted in January or February 2026.
Please contact Scoutmaster Pearl (mpearl0315@hotmail.com) or Troop Committee Chair Nikhil Bahadur (nikhilba@gmail.com) if you would can help.
