After serving St. Matthews United Methodist Church and the Bowie community for over 57 years, it is sad to say that Boy Scout Troop 1249 ceased operations at the end on 2021.  The troop started in 1964 and over the years has seen 87 young men achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.  And so many more scouts have learned valuable skills, experienced new adventures and found new friends. 

Thanks to all the countless leaders, volunteers, scouts and parents who have joined the troop on 57 years of journeys and memories.  The Scouting program helped our scouts develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that will influence their adult lives.  But most of all – Scouting is fun! 

May the Great Scout Master of all Scouts be with us until we meet again… (chairs to the side!)

If anyone knows of other Troop Eagle Scouts not listed or has information of our Troop History, please forward to Asst. Scoutmaster Snider.  We would like to add a Troop History page to our website.  We have a remarkable history.

Troop 1249 has now produced 87 Eagle Scouts.  Who are our other Eagle Scouts?
