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 information has been updated

Posted on Mar 5 2026 - 9:52am

We have updated the information about summer camp to include the fees as well as the current leader died additional updates will be made in the next few weeks.  Please register as soon as possible and also if you pay our start to pay prior to April 15 it is a discounted rate from the camp.  We have reduced the fee slightly from last year for scouts paying the early to $375.  This covers the camp registration fee as well as 2 T-shirts per scout (maybe 3), other incidentals and unforeseen scout costs (Walmart runs) as well as offsetting some of the cost for the adults.

Troop meeting Tuesday, Parent Meeting Wednesday

Posted on Mar 1 2026 - 3:36pm

Tuesday will be the first meeting for new scouts postponed due to water issues. This will be a point where we can see how much our troop has grown and it is greatly appreciated if health forms and transfer applications or new applications can all be submitted. We ask that all scouts attend and be ready for fast moving and possibly chaotic meeting.

Camping at Tiak Registration, New Scout Welcome, Scoutmaster Conferences

Posted on Feb 20 2026 - 4:41pm

Welcome back from Mardi Gras! I hope everyone enjoyed their break and caught lots of good stuff! We have a LOT of things happening quickly! This Sunday from 9-10 AM at the Starbucks at Jefferson and Freret I will be having Scoutmaster conferences for those who sign up in advance. Uniforms are not required and most likely I will be outside. Please remember to purchase something in return for us using their space. Tuesday at 5:30 PM will be our first meeting for new scouts coming in from AOLs. Look sharp and be ready to welcome them! We also have a camping trip scheduled at Camp Tiak NEXT weekend. Numbers are low and if we do not have more scouts enroll, we will wait on this trip and enjoy our trips that are scheduled later in the calendar - and there are a LOT of activities upcoming! Questions? Reach out - to your Patrol Leader, Assistant Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader...etc. Yours in Scouting (YIS)
