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.
