HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TROOP 87!!!
Our Troop turned 110 years old on June 4th, having been founded on June 4th, 1914!
One of the oldest, existing applications for Troop 87 is from 1918, when Otto Rupp submitted a Scoutmaster's Application to the National Council, BSA.
Otto Rupp had been the Assistant Scoutmaster for three years with Troop 87, before being drafted into military service. Upon his return to civilian life, Mr. Rupp became the Scoutmaster of Troop 87.
BSA records show that the troop moved from Zion United Church of Christ in 1999 to St. Francis of Assisi Church, in North East Baltimore City.
Now, Troop 87 has merged with Troop 161 and meets at Church of the Messiah, just a little further up Harford Road.
Hope there are many years ahead for this great Troop!

The Troop started 2024 with a winter camping session, joining Troop 161 at Camp Horseshoe, located on the Mason-Dixon line separating Pennsylvania and Maryland. There was scout-style cooking and eating, as well as night hikes and outdoor activities, with axes & hatchets. For down-time, the scouts turned to gaming favorites like Risk, chess and checkers. A great start to another year for Troop 87!

Fall is off to a busy start for the Troop but they were able to fit in an overnight camping trip to a Troop 87 favorite, Camp Padden. It was perfect fall weather, and just a short walk to explore Loch Raven, where the Scouts worked on leaf & tree identification, plus a lot of rock skipping, tennis playing and requirements for the cooking MB. Hopefully, they'll make the egg & sausage breakfast sandwiches again because they were delicious!

Troop 87 started off the year with a winter camping trip, joining Troop 161 at Camp Rodney. The scouts accomplished many advancement requirements over the weekend, chopped a lot of wood to keep the fire going, and had a great full moon hike. All this during a Polar Vortex, bringing arctic winds and freezing temperatures that weekend!
