TROOP 43
ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC CHURCH
ROSSFORD, OHIO



Troop 43 was founded in 1925 at Maple Street School. We have enjoyed a long life, 4 generations of service, duty, and honor to our community.

Our boys have become policemen, teachers, the last 2 mayors, our last fire chief, fire fighters and dads.

We have morethan 5 current scouter/leaders who were in this troop as boys. It is important to the boys that a sense of continuity be shown by these dads to the values and lifestyle embodied by Boy Scouting throughout it's history. Duty, honor, and FUN...
that's they reason we're

PROUD TO BE...
43!


In the last year and a half, we have have had 6 boys make the rank of Eagle Scout. The first three boys transferred in from other packs and troops. We were glad to get them and honored that they chose to finish their Eagle trails with us.

The last three boys started as Cubs and have only worn 43 as their number.
