Begin the Adventure...
Follow the Timberjack
“Sweetly sings the Timberjack on his way to hay. If you don’t go with him, he will run away. Hee haw, hee haw…hee haw, hee haw, hee haw!”
Troop 279 is perfect for the Cub Scout crossing over or person new to Scouting who loves the outdoors, wants to learn new skills and values community service. Many of our Scouts come from Cub Scout Pack 66 but we have Scouts from as far away as Ballston Spa. Check out our photos to see us in action.

Troop 279 was chartered on April 1, 1970. That's over 45 years of Scouting tradition and adventures. If you plan to reach the rank of Eagle, Troop 279 is the right place for you. As of 2017, over 66 of our Scouts have become Eagle Scouts. Come with us on a journey and become one with the Timberjack.

CAMPING & HIKINGWe like the outdoors a lot. Time spent in the outdoors has physical, mental and spiritual benefits. Plus, where do you think we get to practice everyhting we learn in Scouting.

SERVICE TO OTHERSThe level of community service is a good indication of the health of any society. "Do a Good Turn Daily" is a core Scouting precept. Scouting encourages young people to recognize the needs of others and take action accordingly.

CAMARADERIEWe excel at hanging out whether it be on a hike, at our weekly meeting or on a log in front of a campfire. Once you join our troop you become one of us...a Timberjack.
