Troop 961 History
A charter was first issued to the Hillsboro Ruritan Club for formation of Boy Scout Troop 961 in the summer of 1992. Scouter Bob Zottig was appointed by the chartered organization to be the bounding Scoutmaster of Troop 961. John Harris was selected as the Troop's first Assistant Scoutmaster. Almost 20 years after its founding, Troop 961 has over 70 active registered Scouts and more than 40 registered adults.
