Boy Scout Troop 267
In October 2018, the Roundhouse hosted local Boy Scout Troop 267. The scouts learned to use the welder, CNC Plasma, and wood laser to restore the Lincoln Highway marker, which is on display at the Donner State Park Museum. The original marker was one of 2,437 erected across the country by Boy Scouts in 1928. It was an honor to partner with the Troop and Sierra State Parks Foundation.
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) provides the nation’s foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training, which helps young people be “Prepared. For Life.®” The Scouting organization is composed of more than 1 million youth members between the ages of 5 and 21 and more than 628,000 volunteers in local councils throughout the United States and its territories.
Boy Scout Troop 267 is a Truckee North Tahoe Troop that practices the "boy-led" philosophy – the Scouts take responsibility for planning meetings, activities, and outings. The Scouts are assisted by the Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmasters (trained adult leaders), Patrol Leaders, and Merit Badge Counselors, who all offer guidance and teach skills. The Troop Committee consists of parent volunteers who meet monthly to handle troop administration and support leaders in delivering quality programming.
