Troop 127 is sponsored by Hallinan School PTA. The Troop charter was originally issued in 1927, which makes this Troop one of the few in Scouting with 80 contiguous years of service to scouts by 2007.
We meet at Waluga Junior High School in Lake Oswego, Oregon on Mondays from 7:30 to 8:45 pm.
Troop meetings are suspended during the summer and in December when the Christmas Tree Lot is in operation.
Each year the Troop carries out some activities which have become Troop Traditions.
For qualified older scouts (scouts with a great deal of outdoor experience), the Senior Adventure program offers various extra challenges like this year when we went on a week-long 50 mile wilderness backpack trip.
Every other year the troop adds a 3 day whitewater.
The annual Junior Adventure backpack and river run is organized especially for newer scouts and their parents. Our yearly Family Campout provides a great opportunity for all parents and scouts to share a weekend in the outdoors. There is usually an annual snow weekend for our Scouts on Mt. Hood.
Camporee is an annual weekend campout involving all the troops in the Pioneer District. Camporee provides an opportunity for scout craft competitions, as well as a chance to camp with other scouts throughout our District.
As a fund-raising project each year, the Troop operates a Christmas Tree lot at George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego, run by Scouts and parents. This project is usually all that is required to fund all Troop activities during the year.
Troop 127 has maintained its service to scouts over the years by means of:
- Training programs for the leadership (scout and adult)
- Interesting and effective meetings
- Diverse outdoor programs
- Attention to rank advancement
- Strong parental support
- An efficient fund-raising system
