Troop 61 is from the town of Mansfield, Connecticut. We are located in the Northeast corner of the state, known as the "Quiet Corner". Mansfield is composed of many sections, most notably the section called Storrs, home of the University of Connecticut and the Uconn Huskies! We are chartered to the Eagleville Fire Department, located on Rte.32 in the Eagleville section of town.
From the Leaders Corner
Spring is just about here and we will be focusing on weekend hikes preparing for our big hike this summer. Scouts and their familes are urged to attend these hikes to get in shape for the 50 miler..
Our meetings continue this year on Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. and we continue to look forward to all of the exciting events coming down the pike the rest of the scouting year, so please mark your calendars. Also be sure to review our calendar for other events coming down the pike, and be sure to contact your Patrol Leaders for updated information. Also, please download an updated copy of our members packet to find out what you need to know about our troop, whether you're new to the troop, want to join us or an old timer in the program!
