Scouts BSA Troop 219

Troop 219 empowers girls to lead, serve, and grow.

We’re the only unit with a female recipient of the top Scout scholarship, the only with a female Eagle Scout keynote speaker at the National Meeting, and home to the most female Eagle Scouts in the triad.

Today, a WGHP-TV story highlights the inspiring journey of Sylvia DiRosa, a member of Troop 219 (www.troop219g.com) in Oak Ridge, North Carolina, as she works toward earning the rank of Eagle Scout. Sylvia faces the daily challenges of Lyme disease and lingering complications from COVID, conditions often described as “hidden illnesses” because their effects are not always visible.

Her Eagle Scout service project reflects her personal journey and aims to provide a voice for others living with hidden illnesses. Through her efforts leading workshops across North Carolina, Sylvia hopes to increase understanding, compassion, and awareness for people whose struggles may not be immediately apparent to others. Attendees at the 2026 National Scout Jamboree in West Virginia this summer will also have an opportunity to experience her project firsthand.

Sylvia’s journey has been strengthened by the support of Troop 219, founded in 2019 with a mission to welcome all young women in grades 5 through 12, including those with special needs and different abilities.

The WGHP feature showcased not only Sylvia’s resilience but also the inclusive and supportive spirit of Troop 219. If you know of a young person with a "hidden" illness or who wants to support those who do, direct them to www.troop219g.com.

Thank you to the Troop 219 (www.troop219g.com) Sisters who served during the Memorial Day observance at the Town of Oak Ridge.

Scouts vow "to do my duty to God and my country." Memorial Day provides a tangible opportunity to serve the community and express gratitude for the freedoms secured by military service members.

Today, Scouts BSA Troop 219’s own Sister Sylvia sat down for an interview with the local FOX affiliate in Greensboro!

Be sure to watch next week for the inspiring story of how Sylvia is helping give a voice to those often unseen in our community. Through her Eagle Scout service project, she is demonstrating to our nation that “Scouting is for ALL!”

We are proud of her leadership, compassion, and commitment to making a difference.

The troop is now open to more change-makers. Reach out today for more information.

Scouts Read Sacred Texts was held May 7 in conjunction with the National Day of Prayer, bringing together thousands of youth and families around the world in a shared commitment to faith, reflection, and Duty to God.

The annual event encourages Scouts and youth to read sacred texts in ways that support Scouting’s spiritual aims and values while fully respecting each participant’s individual faith tradition and family beliefs.

Troop 219 (www.troop219g.com) is non-sectarian and open to Scouts of all faiths.

In a culture that often encourages people to put themselves first, Scouting promotes a different mindset. It develops young people into servant leaders who begin practicing that role early, preparing them to go out into the world and spend their lives making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

This week, Troop 219 (www.troop219g.com) prepared 200 flags for retirement and for a special momento for veterans.

Why were Troop 219 (www.troop219g.com) Scouts picking up trash in the community today?

Scouts Trash the Trash Day is a global Messengers of Peace initiative held on the first Saturday in May, encouraging Scouts worldwide to take part in a coordinated day of service. Each Scout is challenged to bring a friend or family member and collect at least one kilo (2.2 pounds) of trash, doubling the impact.

The effort began with a troop in Helena, Montana, who saw an opportunity to create a unifying day focused on community cleanup, similar to other worldwide Scouting events. Today, it brings together Scouts across countries to clean parks, trails, neighborhoods, and waterways.

At our Spring Court of Honor, we will recognize our Scouts who participated.
