Once a Scout,
Always a Scout

Troop 5 has been shaping young men in the Maplewood community since 1920. If you were part of it, you're still part of it.

1920 troop founded
150+ Eagle Scouts documented since 1929
96 years of Eagle Scouts on record
8 Eagle Scouts in 2025 alone

The troop you remember is still going strong

Troop 5 has been meeting every Thursday since 1920 โ€” camping every month, going to Massawepie every summer, and sending young men out into the world better than they came in. The tradition you were part of is very much alive.

๐Ÿ”ฅ
The campfire still burns
Monthly campouts, annual ski trips, Catskills backpacking, beach camping, historic city expeditions โ€” the program is as active and adventurous as it's ever been. Your kids or nephews or neighbors could be part of it.
๐ŸŒฒ
27 summers at Massawepie
Troop 5 has spent two weeks at Camp Massawepie in the Adirondacks for 27 summers now. The troop still goes for two weeks when most troops go for one. Some things don't change.
๐Ÿฆ…
150+ Eagle Scouts and counting
The troop has documented over 150 Eagle Scouts going back to 1929. In 2025 alone, eight scouts earned the rank. The legacy you're part of keeps growing.

Your experience matters here
Former scouts make some of the best advisors, drivers, coaches, and committee members the troop has. You already know what this program means. That's exactly why we'd love to have you back.
