General information
Troop 79 has been in existence since January 1920. During this time approximately three thousand boys have passed through our troop. Our current Scoutmaster has been with us since 1987. During his tenure, 26 young men have advanced to Eagle Scout. Our troop is sponsored by the Old Town Triangle Association.
We are a troop run by boys for boys. Our troop operates via the traditional 'patrol method'. Boy Scouts are one of the few organizations for youth where the adults are not 'in charge'. The boys manage most aspects of troop operation under the guidance of our adult leaders.
The troop meets weekly on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at the Menomonee Clubhouse located at 244 West Willow Street, Chicago, IL 60614.
