Troop History

In 2010 Troop 835 was officially honored by C V Cummings Chapel Hill Post 9100 (Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. in Chapel Hill) that was also posted to this online link.

An excerpt from the page and the citation reads: "Foreign Wars Post 9100 and American Legion Post 6 Memorial Day 2010 events. Troop 835 supported flag placement and memorial services at Chapel Hill Memorial Cemetery, provided military vehicles and equipment for static display, and provided meal service for 400 people. Without their direct participation and support, the annual Memorial Day Remembrance would not have been a success. We, the men and women of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9100, commend them for their service to our community."

Troop 835 did some service work for Chapel Hill Public Library’s Native Pollinator Garden in 2018, which you can read briefly about here. 

Here is an excerpt: "Rosen says that funding for the garden came through the Friends of CHPL and a federally funded grant, but it was thanks to interdepartmental collaboration that it became a reality. 'Our Town partners at Parks & Recreation, especially the Landscaping Division and Parks Maintenance Superintendent Kevin Robinson, shared not just equipment, know-how, and effort, but an enthusiasm to create something that benefits all of Chapel Hill. We’d also like to thank Scout Troop 835 for volunteering their time to clear and prepare the space where the garden now grows.'"
