Troop 66 early history in Marcellus United Methodist ChurchBob Shields and Scott Tanner

The Marcellus UMC began sponsoring Boy Scout Troop 66 in 1972 and has hosted the troop until the present time, except for a few years of absence.

Troop 66 was meeting in the Marcellus Middle school prior to 1969 under the leadership of Scoutmaster Don Gallinger. He was succeeded in 1971 by Bob Shields. In 1972 the troop became sponsored by the Church and meetings were held there until about 1980. Many young men earned the Eagle Scout award during the early years. There was a lapse for around 4 years until the troop from Kasson Road, Troop 360, began meeting in the church as Troop 66 in 1984. By 1987, that troop disbanded and there was no troop until late 1987 when then cubmaster Jim Spinks started the troop up again and is flourishing to this day. Ed Reifler took over for Jim around 1992, as Jim stepped down to devote more time to Spinks Memorial Camp, and the Explorer Post. During Ed’s tenure, the troop produced quite a few Eagles. After Ed, Dave Sedlack and Dennis O’Rourke were scoutmasters. By that time, the cub pack had 140+ cub scouts, led by cubmaster Doug Shields. There were 3 troops in town at that time, and the troop was fortunate to be able to advertise and recruit a good portion of these fine young men to build the troop to 40+ scouts strong by 2004. During this time a lot of scouts made Eagle a rate of one every year. At one time, four generations of one family were in uniform receiving Eagle vespers. That was quite a sight, indeed. There were 5 patrols, and they were all run by the scouts. This task is not an easy one, but with the help of the church, leaders, and the scout’s parents it is an integral part of this successful troop. Recently, there have been two Eagles per year, with 2014 yielding four Eagles. Below is a list of Eagles, their projects, and the leaders over the years.After being sponsored by various organizations in the community throughout the years, the Cub Scout Pack 166 is now sponsored by the MUMC, with the Cubmaster Jason Clarke
