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!)

Upcoming Events
Given the increasing number of positive COVID cases in our county, the troop leaders have decided to postpone the January 4 troop dinner and court of honor. We want all scouts and adults to be healthy and safe. We are currently planning on re-scheduling the dinner and court of honor for mid-February.
To celebrate all the troop has accomplished we will be holding a final troop Dinner and Court of Honor in Fellowship Hall on POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE! The Court of Honor will also include recognition of our last 3 Eagle Scouts. During this event we will also retire the Troop Colors. We are inviting current scouts, scouters, parents as well as alumni scouts, scouters and parents.
That date will be dependent upon availability of fellowship hall and of course the status of COVD infections. We will update via email.
