Established in 1959, Troop 4045 is a member of the Mohawk District within Scouting America’s Twin Rivers Council.
For more than 60 years, the troop has served youth in the Clifton Park community, building leadership, character, and outdoor skills through the Scouting program.
Troop 4045 was originally chartered by Shenendehowa United Methodist Church and continues to meet there today. In recent years, the troop established a new charter partnership with the Twin Rivers Council and looks forward to many years of continued collaboration.
Scouting provides youth with the opportunity to develop leadership skills while enjoying outdoor adventure. Troop 4045 has provided these experiences to hundreds of youth over the years and is especially proud of the 126 Scouts who have earned the rank of Eagle Scout.
