About Troop 1

Troop 1 is a Boy Scout Troop of about 40 scouts, serving the youth of Hopkinton, Massachusetts since 1916. Our chartered organization is Colella's Supermarket. Our current Scoutmaster is George Bradbury scoutmaster@troop1hopkinton.org.

Troop meetings are held at the First Congregational Church on 146 East Main St, Hopkinton. Scouts should be in their Class A uniforms unless otherwise instructed for a particular meeting. Pre-meeting activities begin at 6:45pm. The formal meeting begins at 7:00pm and ends at 8:30pm. Some evenings Scouts may remain after the meetings doing planning, individual instruction, or advancement.

During the meetings, the Scouts work on merit badges, and Scouting and leadership skills. They also plan for upcoming trips by checking and organizing necessary equipment, planning menus and assigning chores. The meetings usually end with a game that is decided by and lead by one of the patrols.

If there is no school, there is no meeting.

The Patrol Leaders Council generally meets the first Sunday of the month.

The Troop Committee generally meets the second Monday of the month.

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make moral and ethical choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
