Welcome to the Troop 56 Website (www.troop56.org)

Welcome to Troop 56!

Troop 56 was founded 11/12/13 and formally expanded its program to include girls in January 2023. 

Troop 56 is carrying on the tradition of excellence of both, Cub Scout Pack 56, and the legendary former *Troop 22, with an emphasis on the outdoors.

The Troop embodies the ideals of Scouting and of Lusher Charter School now known as "The Willow School:

Project Pride
Be Kind
Be Responsible
Respect People and Property
Do Your Best Work

Scout Oath
On my honor, I will do my best. To do my duty to god and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.

Scout Law
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

Troop 56 motto
Help the other fellow

 *Troop 22 was a Troop at Lusher Charter School in the 50s and 60s that did extraordinary things including sailing to Cuba and was known as a PineTree Troop which meant they could make and break camp in 10 minutes.

Summer Camp deadline, Moose Patrol for Tuesday, party planning

Posted on Apr 7 2024 - 3:45pm

Looking forward to the Moose patrol handling this week's meeting (check your mail for an idea) (Moose patrol is: Akum, Own, Hank, Roch, Sammy, Asher and Caul- Patrol Leader HANK should be leading the meeting with the help of Asher). We have ONE WEEK until the initial deadline for summer camp is here. Please make sure you register at this link https://neworleans56.mytroop.us/node/2601 or RSVP "no" if you cannot attend. We do need one female volunteer to be on site for each day and this can be worked out to not have the same person for the entire week if needed. Scouts who register after the April 15 deadline will not be guaranteed shirts, merit badges will be full and YOU CAN DO IT! Stay tuned for the end of year celebration/court of honor. For those wanting to help please contact Ms. Baslimo! Thank you Ms. Balsimo! See you all Tuesday!
