About Us

Troop 80 meets every Monday night between 7:30 and 9:00 at the community room at the rear of Grace Episcopal Church in Cortland - enter from the door at the rear of the building from the municipal parking lot (you can enter the lot from Tompkins Street across from CVS, or by the driveway from Court Street between AllianceBank and the Church).

If you are a boy 11 years old or older (or 10 1/2 and in sixth grade), Troop 80 is for you! Come on down, sample one of our meetings, and sign up now! Click here to look at this year's schedule.

Troop 80 has a very active schedule of weekly meetings, monthly outings (campouts, hikes, and field trips), a major annual spring trip, and summer camp. There are special opportunities for older Scouts, such as treks to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, the National Scout Jamboree and even an international jamborette in Scotland that several of our Scouts have attended.

Our troop is one of the oldest and most active in Cortland County, having been founded in 1944 by John Colton. Over the 60 years of our history, Troop 80 has maintained the highest standards for the hundreds of Scouts who have been members. There have been many Eagle scouts in Troop 80 over the years. Three of our scoutmasters have earned the Silver Beaver, the Council's highest award.

If you are interested in the fun, learning and adventure of Scouting, come join Troop 80!
