I was greatly impressed with the web site of Troop 22, however,  I am not surprised however at the professionalism of the site. Troop 22 has always attracted some of the most talented people at SFX.

The years I spent at Troop 22 bring back many happy memories, having seen our troop grow from a handful of young men to well over 100 scouts in a few short years.  It has always been recognized as one of the better troops in the Brooklyn Council, and that was mostly due to the scouts who were members, the fathers who volunteered as committee members, and, of course, the ongoing inspiration of our chaplain Father John Kean.

Best of Luck with your 50th anniversary celebration.

Well, I joined Troop 22 back in my high school days right before I received my Eagle Award. Even though I am not recognized as an Eagle of Troop 22, many of my awards have Troop 22 on them so I do feel at home here. Thanks for the continued friendships and fun we still have together.

THE MYSTERY OF THE BEGINNING OF TROOP 22 MAY BE SOLVED. This weekend (9/10/05) I was at TMR attending the Brooklyn Old-timers yearly weekend, and came across a 1929 Brooklyn Council Annual Report.

In this report, they listed the troops in Brooklyn, and when they were chartered and what area they serviced. In shock, I noticed that Troop 22 was originally chartered in Flatbush District on May 1920 with 16 scouts (4 tenderfoot, 10 second class, 2 first class). The scoutmaster was Alfred Galasi. The troop that serviced our area in Prospect Heights District was Troop 142 and chartered in June 1917. The scoutmaster was Gus Lehman. I think that the troop was formed at SFX by someone who was part of the original Troop 22 and that is how we got the vintage troop flag. Our chartered date of 1954 may be correct for the time that we started at SFX.

Where do I start?  All I can say is that if it wasn't for this Troop, I really don't know what my childhood would have been like.
This wasn't just a Boy Scout Troop, it was my Family.  I will always love you, Troop 22, no matter where you are.

I can't believe Troop 22 has a web site. This is great! This site has brought to mind great memories. I wish I had the time to go back to TMR.  For those of you who can, go enjoy it while it lasts. I believe I went there five years in a row and would love to go back. I really miss the camping, the pool, the newts, Half Moon Lake, the stars, the stories by the campfire and good friends. I hope my boys will one day join a troop as excellent as Troop 22.  Thanks for making my day!

What can I say about the best Troop in Brooklyn?  The leadership is the best of the best.  Scouting would not have been the same without them.  Who can forget the first time I spotted a bear 3 feet away from me?  Scouting has been and always will be apart of my life.  Thanks to Troop 22... Thanks for all the support over the past years while I've been in the U.S. Navy.

I would first like to congratulate you on your excellent site!  Your photos brought back fond memories of summer camp at TMR and weekend trips to Alpine and Sanita Hills.  As a matter of fact, I am almost certain that I am in the parade formation photo in 58 - 60 pictures (5th row back, 1st scout on the right side).  After a long hiatus from scouting, I resumed my scouting career when my oldest son became a Tiger Cub.  Three years ago, I helped form Troop 691 in Seaford - Massapequa, which has grown to 45 scouts.  I will look through my old photos and scout memorabilia and I will try to find some things to help you out in your history and photo album sections.  Hope to hear from you!!

Yours in Scouting,
Lou
