On my honor     I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times; 
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
 

Welcome to Troop 5 North Providence

Troop 5 is a boy-run troop that has 16 scouts. We camp out every month and attend Camp Yawgoog the first week of August every year.  We've put together a great outdoor program for the boys with activities like hiking, fishing, and cycling. The troop is dedicated to instilling scouting values and building character through leadership and teamwork.  Scouts learn essential skills through advancement and study diverse fields through the merit badge program.

Troop 5 - Meets Thursday's at 7:00 - 8:30pm in the Parish Center of our sponsoring organization, St. Anthony's Church on Mineral Spring Ave. In North Providence.

Please feel free to visit us but please call in advance to ensure that we are meeting at our regular time and place that week.  Please contact Scoutmaster, Chris Rao (401) 722-5458, crao@verizon.net or Assistant Scoutmaster, Chris Mancini (401) 353-9936.
