Boy Scout Troop 410 - Troop History

Troop410 was first chartered as Troop 415 at St. Josephs Catholic Church in Pomfret, Maryland. The troop was chartered in 1969 under Father Brady, now Monsignor Brady.

Troop 415's first Scoutmaster was Ron Hilliard and the first scout in Troop 415 was James Hilliard.

From 1969 until 1988 the Scoutmasters were Ron Hilliard, Claude Manley, Bob Gignilliat, Robert Wood and Joe Hebb. (Still researching to ensure that all Scoutmasters were listed as well as to determine dates of service). Bob Gignilliat was Scoutmaster from 1980 - 1988. Robert Wood was Scoutmaster for about 3-4 months in 1987 before he was killed in a car accident. Bob Gignilliat came back to the troop after Robert was killed until Joe Hebb took over in 1988. Bob was affiliated with the troop for 18 years as Scoutmaster and then as Chaplin and Institutional Representative until 1998. During Bob's stint as Scoutmaster Troop 415 grew from 8 Scouts to a high of about 55 Scouts.

In 1989 Joe Hebb stepped down and Richard Hanson became the Scoutmaster until a permanent Scoutmaster was found. Shortly thereafter, Charlie Keefer became the next Scoutmaster of Troop 415. In 1991 Charlie Keefer stepped down and Lee Bramell became the Scoutmaster of Troop 415 until 1998 when Troop 415 changed sponsors and became Troop 410, sponsored by the White Plains Baptist Church. Lee Bramell became the first Scoutmaster of Troop 410 and remained the Scoutmaster until 2002 when he resigned after almost 12 years of service to Troop 415/410 as the Scoutmaster, graduating over 30 Eagle Scouts.

Several scouts of Troop 415 have now come back as leaders of the Troop. Mr. Brian Moore was a member of Troop 415 in the late 70's. Mr. Ken Ashby a member of Troop 415 in the late 80's, and Michael Hunt, an Eagle Scout of Troop 415 and our current Scoutmaster since 2002.

In 2005, Troop 410's Charter renewal saw over 90 boys and 40 adult leaders.
