Website Historical Notes:


I have learned that Troop 270 has lost its charter. (November, 2023)

Original Website name:  www.riversidescouts.com (Still in use by T-270, although the troop is not believed to be active.) This website domain name (URL) was originally created for former Girl Scout Troop 207.

The original webhost was Mr. Bob Bell, who provided free hosting for the Troop for a few years, until he disbanded his business.

Subsequently, the website was hosted by InnoTech at a reduced rate, as that company is very Scout friendly..

The Troop's website was created and maintained by Stan Dery from early 2004 through late 2017.

For certain periods of time, the T-270 website was also used to host small websites  for Cub Scout Pack 13 and Girl Scout Troop 496.

For this historic version of the Troop's website, I have removed certain links and content. Let me know if you want to see something that  you can't find.

A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind,
Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.
(Scout Law)

On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
(Scout Oath)

As an American, I will do my best to -
Be clean in my outdoor manners
Be careful with fire
Be considerate in the outdoors, and
Be conservation minded.
(Outdoor Code)

Be Prepared!
(Boy Scout Motto)

Do a Good Turn Daily!
(Boy Scout Slogan)

"May the great Scoutmaster of all Scouts be with you until we meet again."
(Scoutmaster's Benediction)
