One Unified Troop for Boys & Girls in Livingston

Troop 16 is a unified troop with boy and girl patrols that each elect their own patrol leaders, fostering leadership, self-reliance, and accountability among peers within one supportive community. Dedicated adult leaders provide essential guidance and oversight, ensuring all activities are safe, empowering, and fun.
