Boy Scout Troop 9

The parish-sponsored scout troop that provides opportunity for year-round camping, personal development, and community service. Troop 9 (web site) is a Scout unit in the Occoneechee Council of the Boy Scouts of America sponsored by the Chapel of the Cross.

Troop 9's history is traced back to 1910, with The Layman's Club of the Chapel of the Cross taking over the charter in 1946.

We have participated in the ABC sale in excess of 25 years, including 19 years (since 1990) consecutively manning the parking lot on sale day.
