Troop 17 has been on a lot of outings over the years, but just where were they?  You can now find out with the map below.
You can find this map permanently on our troop website under the "Upcoming Events" tab (yes, we are aware that it is a map of past events). :-)  Let's see what new markers we can add next year!

Right now, the map includes all the trips taken as far back as September of 2008.  That means we only need to find 85 more years of trips!

Eagle Scouts have been required to lead a service project since 1965.  Our Troop 17 has had 43 Eagle Scouts (& 43 Eagle Scout projects) since then.  It's quite impressive to see the difference that these Eagle Scouts have made in our communities.  The map below shows all the Eagle Scout projects that we know about. Note: You'll have to zoom out to see all of the projects.  We span the nation!

You can get a summary of the Eagle project, including date, Eagle Scout by selecting one of the Eagle Scout badges.  

 Note: We are still looking for the locations of quite a few projects.  If you know the details of those projects, please send an email to Mr. Gillogly.  Names of the missing projects are shown below the map.

Troop 17 is part of the Angle Tree District of Annawon Council.  Have you ever wondered where the district name came from?  It's actually from a very important historic landmark.

From the "History of Annawon Council" on the Annawon Council  website:
In 1966 Annawon Council held a contest to rename the North and South Districts. Angle Tree was suggested by Gary Fish of  Troop 10 N. Attleboro, and Sachem by Barry Pinto Pack 6 of Taunton. Prior to 1964 the two districts were known a  North (Angle Tree) and South (Sachem) Districts. Sachem
came from a Scout reading Indian history.

The Angle Tree Stone exists in N. Attleboro, off 19 High St, on the North Attleboro/ Plainville  border.  The stone marker was
erected in 1790 (during George Washington's second term as president) to replace a dying White Oak tree that was used as
a boundary marker since 1640. It was designated as the border between Plymouth Bay Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony. It is the second-oldest such stone monument in the nation,  and also marks boundary between Norfolk and Bristol counties.
The stone has been given the status of a National Monument

More information on the Angle Tree Stone, including it's exact location.

Angle Tree District consists of units from Mansfield, Norton, Attleboro and North Attleboro.  It currently has 13 Packs, 12 Troops and five crews.
