An interview with Roger Brauchli, former Troop 5 Scout Master
By Keegan B., Troop 5 Historian
Roger Brauchli became Troop 5’s Scout Master in September 1969.
He officially stepped down Jan. 1, 2022.
Roger Brauchli became a Boy Scout in 1960.
He wanted to join because his friends wanted to join.
He also wanted to go camping and he had a lot of encouragement from his parents.
He earned the rank of Eagle Scout at age 16.
He became Troop 5’s Scout Master because he was asked by the people in the committee and he said “why not?”
He wanted to make a big impact on the Troop.
Roger Brauchli’s favorite part of being Troop 5’s Scout Master since 1969 has been meeting new people.
He has liked guiding scouts and making long lasting friends.
He continued as Scout Master as long as he did because of how much fun he had, and he wanted to continue making a big impact.
His favorite ‘High Adventure’ trip was either St. John, the U.S. Virgin Islands trip (he went eight times) or Philmont Scout Ranch (he went two times).
He liked the Long Beach Island trip, the cooking competition, the canoe trips and the bike hike.
In his more than 51 years as Troop 5 Scout Master, Roger Brauchli, known to all his Scouts as, simply, “Roger,” has made a huge impact on Troop 5.
