Troop 615 Alumni
Scouts and adults become Troop alumni once they have left the troop. We would like to remain in touch with alumni to send special and important information and events about the Troop. Scouts who have aged out will receive an email invitation to remain an alumnus and can submit a short contact information form. Adults who do not recharter will also receive an email to ask if they would like to become an alumni, and they can submit the same contact information form.
Troop 615 Eagle Scout Alumni
Scouts who have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, once they have aged out at 18 years old, become Eagle Alumni in addition to Troop 615 alumni. The Troop will maintain contact with Eagle Alumni with messages about the troop and special events/activities. All Eagle Alumni are welcome to return to 615 to visit, talk to the younger scouts, become an Assistant Scoutmaster, or a member of the Parent Committee.
Here is the listing of the Troop's Eagle Scouts
National Eagle Scout Association
As an Eagle Scout, you are part of an exclusive and revered class of Scouters. Demonstrate pride in your accomplishments and commit to carrying on Eagle Scout traditions with a National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) membership. As a member of NESA, you further the mission, values, and time-honored traditions of Scouting in your community and our country. Give your Eagle pride a purpose by joining NESA today; the future is in your hands.
Their mission is to put Eagle pride to work forging actions that strengthen Scouting. For over 50 years, NESA has been giving Eagle Scout pride a purpose—because a Scout’s journey does not end at Eagle. NESA promotes Eagle Scout accomplishments, celebrates Scouting spirit, and connects Eagles with opportunities to perpetuate the mission, values, and time-honored traditions of Scouting for future generations.
NESA members play a critical role in creating a world filled with leaders using the Scout Oath and Law to be responsible and participating citizens.
