Since our founding on August 26, 1996, Troop 826 has been guided by a dedicated line of Scoutmasters. Each of these leaders has carried the torch for our Scouts, families, and VFW Post 9473, helping young people grow in character, citizenship, and leadership.
The Scoutmaster is the adult leader who mentors the youth leadership, supports the patrols, and ensures Troop 826 delivers a safe, fun, and youth‑led Scouting program.
