Welcome!

Welcome to the Troop 51 website!  We use this site to communicate with our Scouts and their parents, as well as to show off some of the things we love doing, like camping and service projects.

We meet nearly every week at Cook`s Memorial Presbyterian Church, in Charlotte, NC.

Announcements
  • Troop 51 Recognized: Our Troop participated in the Stream Cleanup event this past summer, for which we were recognized in the November 1st meeting of the Mecklenburg County Board of County Commissioners meeting.  See a picture of us leading the Pledge at the start of the meeting in the Pictures area.
  • Uniform Diagrams: The positioning of all the patches on the boyscout uniform can now be found in the Forms Section (link at the top).
  • Pictures from the August Canoe Trip are available.  Look for the link to the right-->.
  • Historian finalizes a photo album: The Troop Historian created a 2009 photo album.  It is available for review in Rowan Hall.  You can also review the photo album online. (You must have the Flash player version 10 to view the photo album.  If you do not have it installed, you will be prompted to install it.)
  • Call for pictures!  If you have pictures from any of our recent trips, please share them with the troop.  Contact Eric Belongia for the password to upload the pictures to this site, or if you prefer, provide the pictures to Eric and he will upload them for you.
  • The latest troop calendar can be found in the Forms section (link at the top).
Updates In Process
While we are building this site, some links/content will not be "finished".  If you find a link that doesn't work (typically blue text with no underline), you can notify the webmaster, but chances are we simply haven't prepared the document yet.

Want to Help?
If you are interested in helping our Troop, please let us know.  We can always use the help and there are plenty of ways to participate.  Here are but a few examples:
  • Merit Badge Counselor (based on your interests)
  • Chaperon for outings/camping trips
  • Troop Committee
  • Assistant Scoutmaster
  • Advisor to Troop Leadership (ex. helping the Quartermaster)
  • Planning future trips/outings
  • Coordinating fund raisers
If you are interested in helping in any capacity, please come to a meeting and talk with our Scoutmaster, or to any member of the Troop Committee, or contact Eric Belongia.

Training
There are lots of opportunities for training and plenty of information available for self-guided learning.  We are going to try to provide some information on this site that we hope you find useful.  If you have suggestions for additional content, please let Eric Belongia know.

Photos
While we have some photos on this site, we invite you to send us links to more photos you may have stored online.  Please remember to avoid adding anyone's full name as a caption to the photos.  First names only!
