1947 to 2014 

Troop 20 was founded in 1947, at St. Theresa's Church, by a group of veterans returning from the war. They had been Scouts in Troop 9, sponsored by Esso Oil Co. in Everett before they went into the service.

Many remained active with Troop 20, and the Aurora District for several years. Some of the adults presently serving with the troop have been active for more than 50 years with the troop, district, and council - in various capacities. Many have served in positions with other units such as, Troops 6, 12, 38, 13, Packs 20, 11, 6, and Crew 20, not to mention many units from surrounding communities.

At this time, there are at least 10 former Scoutmasters still alive.
