Troop History

Boy Scout Troop 6 was first chartered in the year 1916. Initially organized by Pastor Worden, the troop has been active for over 95 years. Early members include Kenneth Noyes and his brother, previous longtime members of the Jonesville United Methodist Church and one time owners of the Jonesville Country Store.

Troop 6 takes their place among several excellent troops in the Saratoga District of Twin Rivers Council. Each troop has its own character, strengths, and design. Troop 6 is an active, strong group encouraging mutual respect and good citizenship. We have scouts who have come from nearly all of the local Cub Scout packs as well as scouts that are new to the Clifton Park area, transfers from other troops, and boys new to scouting. We have a nicely balanced group of over 40 boys of all ranks within the BSA program. From 1961 to present, Troop 6 has had approximately 70 Eagle Scouts.

We are privileged to have the Jonesville United Methodist Church as our charter organization.
