Do a good deed - indeed our scouts demonstrated that on Apr 20th Sat as part of the Sacramento County Creek Week event.   Our Troop picked up trash, pulled  invasive weed - Star Thistle and installed six troop built Bat Houses on trees along Willow Creek Trail west of E. Bidwell St.  This is our troop's adopted trail.  Ofcourse climbing up the oak trees and installing the Bat Houses was the fun part for the scouts.  Next time you take a walk or bike on that trail, look up for those Bat Houses.  Indeed our troop is building a great legacy thru these events.  Scouts and adults received free T-Shirts and also unch was offered by the City at Livermore Park.  We have more Bat Houses to install and will plan on future events to install them.  Any scout ready to climb trees and have fun?

Salamanders, Turtles, Coots, Eagles, Butterflies, Carp - lots of them for easy fishing, horses, an abundance of native spring flowers (let's name them - California Pacific Iris, California Poppy, Lupine, Winter Vetch, Blue Dick, California Indian Pink, Chinese Houses, Western Buttercup, Globe Lily, Goldfields, and more), grove of rose bushes in the middle of no where, a small hydro electric power station, in use and abandoned canals, a wier, kayakers, a parking ticket, one scout with no lunch in his backpack, a scouter with a bad back - you get it we had a priceless and rewarding 10mi hike on Sunday April 14th 2013.  Are you ready for the next one?

Scoutmaster Jim Blue made this announcement: It is with great honor and pleasure that I announce Troop 1855 has a new Eagle Scout.  On Wednesday March, 13^th, Ian J completed his Board of Review…passed with flying colors…!!!!  Ian had many leadership roles within the Troop but none were more impactful than his time spent as the SPL.  Ian had a wonderful project.  Working together with some other charitable groups like the Blue Star Moms.  Ian assemble bags of personal essential items for the needy patients at the Veterans Hospital.

Once again our troop won 2012 Folsom Veteran's Day parade awards -  Best Youth Spirit Award and the top award..... Best of Show.

On Dec 11th, our Scouts accepted the two awards at the City Council and were the final recipients of the night. The top award was the last one. Councilman Sheldon said afterwards that our Troop "has a dynasty" of award winners for this event. Thanks to ASM Bailey for his leadership and creativity, Phoenix patrol for taking the lead and all the scouts and adults for participating in the event. Go Troop 1855 !!!

Once again our troop showed their appreciation and respects to veterans by enthusiastically participating in this year's Folsom Veteran's Day parade on Nov 12th 2012.   This year our float's theme was 'Veteran's are heart beat of America". ASM Bailey and Phoenix Patrol built the float.  The troop once again carried proudly the 30x50ft US flag.  We thank all the volunteers, and parade participants for making the troop proud.  Check out the event photos in our Photo Album section.

Our troop is going all out to honor our veterans.  All the details are posted on the event page including online sign-up.  Lets join the parade, show our respects to our veterans.
