Happy 16th Birthday Scouts BSA Troop 9 Petaluma and 3rd Birthday for Cub Pack 9!!!

Cub Pack 9, founded in 2022 and chartered by Elim Lutheran Church, now has almost 30 Cub Scouts ranging in age from kindergarten to 5th grade. Thank you Elim and thank you Bill and Emily Desenberg our Cubmasters!!! Boy Troop 9 founded in 2009 stands at 26 young men.

Troop 9 was first chartered in March of 2009 with the generous support of our Chartered Organization – Elim Lutheran Church. We are a fully inclusive troop, just as Elim Church is in the local community. Our first Eagle Scout, which was celebrated in 2013, was Robert Marchionni (a founding member of T9 & past Elim member), and currently we stand at 29 young men who have achieved their Eagle - the highest rank in Scouting. Most recently this year: Mr. Simon Bente’, Mr. Thomas Anderson and Mr. Thomas Freisen.

Troop 9 is more than just about camping, and hiking and being in the outdoors; we believe strongly in our commitment to community service, so that our scouts learn to appreciate the responsibility of giving back to their community. These are some of the activities used to teach young women and men how to be respectful, responsible, and full of fun both today and into the future. Using all types of indoor and outdoor activities, Troop 9’s young people are learning how to prepare for all the adventures of life.

The Mission of Troop 9: Is to provide boys and girls with a safe and supportive environment where they may learn not only how to become responsible but also how to lead, follow and take pride in themselves and their accomplishments.  Here are the activities and community service projects attended and/or completed by Troop 9 in the past year:
