The Scouts of Troop 600 live the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.  We follow the directive of "Do a Good Turn Daily" and are known in our community for providing cheerful service.  Our service activities have included:

  • providing manpower at the annual Oak Ridge Horse Show
  • manning the First Aid booth during the spring carnival at the local elementary school
  • teaching knots at the HORSEPOWER therapeutic riding outreach
  • partnering with our brother Scouts in Swaziland to help them construct a farm and a Scout's Own Service ring at their Scout camp.  You can learn more about our Swaziland Project here.

Troop 600 was founded in August 2006 and currently has 55 registered Scouts and 26 registered adult Scouters.  Our Scoutmaster is an Eagle Scout and Wood Badge graduate and serves on staff for various Council training courses.  He received the Scoutmaster Award of Merit and the Guilford District Award of Merit in 2010.  Our five Assistant Scoutmasters are trained as are many of our Troop Committee members.  We have 8 registered Eagle Scouts, 14 members of the Order of the Arrow, and 8 Wood Badge trained leaders.

Troop 600 is open to all boys ages 11-17.  Prior Scouting experience is not required.  Membership at Oak Ridge Presbyterian Church is not required.

Troop 600 is comprised of Scouts from six Packs and we welcome boys from all Packs, not just from Pack 600.  Parent's should seek to visit several Troops with their son and select the Troop that most represents Scouting as defined by the Boy Scout Handbook.  Don't settle for an imitation. 

For more information about Troop 600 and how to select a Troop, please contact the Scoutmaster.

Troop 600 is part of the Guilford District of the Old North State Council.
