our volunteers

Troop 513 has over a dozen volunteers who support the Scouting program in Stoneham. This group has over a century of Scouting experience, and many of them earned the rank of Eagle Scout as a youth.

Every adult in our troop has completed a background check, role-based training, and regular training focused on how we can keep our youth members safe.
