Welcome to BSA Troop 100 in NE Portland

Welcome to troop 100 of NE Portland!

Troop 100 has operated continuously for over 100 years serving the community, making it one of the oldest troops in the United States. Our first charter was on February 23, 1921. Troop 100 has a vigorous outdoor and advancement program, including an overnight outing most months of the year. The activities at Troop 100 are planned by the Scouts, for the Scouts (with adult assistance and support, of course). The troop also has numerous Scouts that have achieved the rank of Eagle each year. New information is added almost weekly so check back on a regular basis to see what's new. To contact Troop 100 send an Email to Troop100.pdx@gmail.com

We are going to beautiful Camp Meriwether on the Oregon coast July 6-12th, 2025!

Every year, we look forward to attending summer camp together to bond as a troop, earn merit badges, and make wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. Learn more about one of the only Scouts camps with an ocean beach: https://cpcscouting.org/project/camp-meriwether/

Fish Fry this weekend

We have a reciprocal relationship with St Rose church. They store much of the troop's gear and we help them with service projects throughout the year.
This weekend, scouts can earn service hours by helping with the fish fry Saturday the 12th from 9am - noon and Sunday the 13th from 6 - 8pm. You don't need to commit to the entire shift; volunteering for an hour would still be helpful! When you there, find leader Mike Rounds to ensure your service hours are recorded.

September overnight camping and Ape Caves

On Saturday, September 19th, Scouts will meet at FUMC late morning/ early afternoon on Saturday (exact time TBD) and drive to Paradise Creek Campground in Washington https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232862.
Packing list: sack lunch and snacks for Saturday, water bottle, sleeping bag, pillow, sleeping pad, personal mess kit, clothes for warm, cool, dry, and/or wet weather.
The troop will supply food and scouts will prepare meals: dinner Saturday night, breakfast Sunday morning, and lunch Sunday afternoon.
Please RSVP on the troop website so we know how much food to buy and how many tents to bring!
On Sunday the 20th, we'll visit the Apes Caves at 11am. You are welcome to meet us there if your scout isn't able to spend the night on Saturday. Again, please RSVP so we'll know to expect you! Cell service there may be spotty.
All drivers will need to sign up for the 11am vehicle entry time on the 20th. If there's a fee, the troop can reimburse you. https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10086990

Upcoming troop meetings

September 15th troop meeting will focus on camping meal planning
Scouts will begin or continue working on personal management and communications merit badges, both of which are requirements for earning Eagle Scout. All merit badge information can be found here: https://www.scouting.org/skills/merit-badges/all/

Parent roles and committee meetings

There are 3 main parents roles: 1) Behind the scenes organization, planning, and admin 2) Attending Tuesday night troop meetings, and 3) Chaperoning service events, weekend outings, camping trips, and Scouts camp in the summer. Ideally, every family assumes at least one role.
We have several very involved parents who keep the troop running behind the scenes, but we could use extra hands since Truman earned his Eagle and Karin will soon be retiring the parent committee meeting (Thank you for all your help over the years, Karin!!) The two key roles to be filled are 1) Treasurer and 2) Rechartering and MyScouting management (Kelli will likely be taking this one!)
All parents are welcome to attend the parent committee meetings, but only parents who have a "behind the scenes" role are required to attend.
