Litchfield Troop 89

Litchfield Troop 89 is part of Log Cabin / Railsplitter District of Abraham Lincoln Council.  We meet almost every Sunday at Litchfield Family Practice Center at 6:30 PM.  Scouting is the largest and one of the oldest organizations around. It is also one that is immediately known and respected by many people throughout the word. Troop 89 and its leaders believe strongly in the character building that comes from following the Scout Oath and Scout Law. We also believe strongly in parent participation in all Scouting activities. The youth that get the most out of Scouting are those whose parents are visible and active. Parents play a key role in the success of Scouting – you help motivate your son, provide moral support, and help as you can with troop activities. Your excitement and involvement will rub off on your son. Scouts get out of Troop 89 what they put into it. Leaders try to keep the “outing” in Scouting by offering plenty of activities of all kinds. We ask you, our Scouts, to lead the troop as much as possible. That includes work planning and preparing for campouts and weekly meetings. As you learn and grow with us, your responsibilities will increase. Developing self-confidences, self-reliance and leadership are key goals of the Scouting program. The exciting transition from Webelos to Scouting, or entering Scouting for first time, can be confusing at times. We will have a parents and scouts meeting for our first meeting.  You will be given a handout discussing Boy Scouts and Troop 89.  Please do not hesitate to ask one of our leaders if you have any questions, now or any time in the future.
