"The goodness of a person and of the society he or she lives in often comes down to very simple things and words found in the Scout Law. Every society depends on trust and loyalty, on courtesy and kindness, on bravery and reverence. These are the values of Scouting, and these are the values of Americans."
Pres. George W. Bush

Boy Scout Troop 55 is located in Northville, New York - a small community in the southern Adirondack Park. We are sponsored by the First United Methodist Church of Northville (located on the corner of South Main Street and Washington Avenue), where we meet on Thursday evenings at 7:00PM. You can visit our schedule page
to see what events we have coming up.
The Scouting program has three specific objectives, commonly referred to as the "Aims of Scouting." They are character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness. You can learn more about the scouting program at the
Boy Scouts of America web site.

In Memory of Raif Pomeroy |

 Raif Pomeroy March 27, 1966 - July 22, 2007 Several members of Troop 55 were lucky enough to sail with Captain Raif Pomeroy last January during their trip to the Florida Seabase. We were deeply saddened to learn of his recent death in a Scuba diving accident in the Bahamas.
Raif was a passionate diver and a wonderful singer. He did a great job teaching our scouts about the wonders of the sea and was kind enough to share some of his music with them. Thank you, God, for giving us the opportunity to sail with Raif and hear his fantastic voice in the Bahamas. He will be missed greatly. |
