Troop 85 Staten Island

Troop 85 Staten Island Pack and Troop 85, proudly representing St. Sylvester Church in Staten Island, N.Y. The Scouts of today are the leaders of tomorrow! TROOP 85 is back at ST.

SYLVESTER’S CHURCH after 8 year hiatus. The last Pastor was not in favor of the Boy Scouts and after 50 plus years of Scouting at St. Sylvester’s Church, we were asked to leave our community. Many Scouts moved to neighboring Troops and established themselves in a new community. The new Pastor at St. Sylvester’s Church, Father Jacob, heard about all the good things Troop 85 did for the Church and i

ts community and requested for it to start up again. A small request has been heard loud and clear across Staten Island. Within a short period of time the word got out. Past scout members from the last five decades of Troop 85 existence have started to come back as volunteers. Many now have kids of their own and are coming back for either the Cub Scout or Boy Scout experience with Troop 85.

We are excited to announce the completion of the final conservation easement to permanently preserve William H. Pouch Scout Camp for Scouting, camping, and outdoor recreation. We are grateful to all our partners for getting this done so future generations of Staten Island Scouters and families can enjoy this jewel of the Staten Island greenbelt.

🎉 This week, February 4-10, marks the National Scout Anniversary Week, a time to celebrate the rich history and enduring values of Scouting in America! 🇺🇸

As the Greater New York Councils, Boy Scouts of America, we’re proud to be part of this incredible journey, shaping the lives of young people through adventure, learning, and service. Since our founding, Scouting has been a cornerstone in building character, leadership, and a commitment to community.

Let’s use this week to reflect on our achievements, share our Scouting stories, and recommit to the Scout Oath and Law. We invite our Scouts, volunteers, alumni, and families to participate in activities and events that celebrate our Scouting spirit.

Happy National Scout Anniversary Week! Let’s continue to make a positive impact and prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes.
