Scouts

Boy Scout Troop 139. The troop has been in existence, in several locations, for 54 years and at latest count, boasts 143 Eagle Scouts - the highest rank a Boy Scout can achieve. The Troop is chartered by St. Francis de Sales.

Meetings are held each Monday night in the school auditorium from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. We currently have 50 boys registered in the troop; some from St. Francis, but the majority come from other schools in the area. The Troop enjoys hiking, backpacking, camping, target shooting, archery, rock climbing, bike riding and other fun activities on weekends. We are active in community projects as well including serving Thanksgiving dinners to the homeless, painting the dining hall of a homeless shelter, building shelves in a local food bank, donated money and clothing to hurricane victims and painted the lockers in the SFDS junior high classrooms.
