Electricity, Electronics, Radio

Classes will be on Tuesday nights at the Oak Ridge Power Squadron Building, 707 Emory Valley Road, Oak Ridge, 7-8:30 PM.  They will be taught by qualified members of the Radio Club.  There will be at least two registered scout leaders present at each session.

Scouts must obtain and read the merit badge book to participate and there is a reading requirement prior to the first session.

Note the registration deadline for each class.  Scouts can send in separate registrations for separate classes as long as they observe the respective deadlines.

Learn More About Troop 224

For 60 years, Troop 224 has been providing the youth of Oak Ridge with a high adventure Scouting program. We put together a brochure that describes many of our activities and how you can join. Click the link to download a copy.

Get Ready for an Exciting Year of Scouting!

Troop 224 never takes a break. Even when our fantastic summer camp trip to Weminuche Wilderness Area in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado was over, we jumped right in, so to speak, to our next activities with swimming and lifesaving classes.

Now as school has started we are moving back into our regular schedule of weekly meetings and monthly outings.

Regular weekly meetings resume Monday, August 20, at 7 p.m.

The next outing is a family potluck dinner and boating event at the home of Assistant Scoutmaster Kent Bailey, on Watt’s Bar. Please plan to participate and bring your whole family. It will be a great time!

You will find attached a downloadable, printable calendar that spells out what we have planned for the year. Our online calendar hasn’t been updated yet with all of the calendar events, but it will be shortly.
