Troop 57 History
In the early 1930's the First United Methodist Church of Garland, Texas established a Cub Scout pack. Pack 57 was founded for the specific purpose of seeding a Boy Scout troop. In 1936, Troop 57 was chartered with its members being the first graduating class of Cub Scouts. Since that time Troop 57 has been in continuous operation, serving the youth and the community of Garland, Texas and the surrounding area. As one of the oldest troops in Circle Ten Council, we are very proud of our heritage.
Because we've been around so long, it can prove difficult to tell our story. Collected here is a growing collection of tales and legends about Troop 57 that we'd like to bind for posterity...or our upcoming Troop Reunion!
If you have any stories, facts, photos or advice to share, please send it all to our Committee Chair, Webmaster or any of our other leadership and they'll be up here soon.
