Troop
80 has been continuously sponsored as a Boy Scout Troop in Amarillo since
1955 and currently holds the honor of a "50 Year" Troop.
Troop 80 has produced over 295 Eagle Scouts.
There is an effort
to have a balanced program, providing fun, advancement and
adventure (11+ trips a year) for the scouts. Safety and security are
paramount on our camps. Part of our program includes
year round training in swimming. We also have an extensive program
for our older Scouts .
Troop
80 is also recognized each year by the Golden
Spread Council for earning the
National Camping Award.
Our Troop has claimed victory at many of the local competitions with other
Troops in the Golden
Eagle District and Golden
Spread Council.
The Troop is annually recognized by the Boy Scouts of America as
a National Quality Unit.
Our Troop was 50 years old in 2005. The 50th
Anniversary Reunion was held over Labor
Day Weekend 2005.
Troop
80's program strives to follow the principles and ideas laid out in the

Troop 80
strongly feels that the Troop is for the boys. The Troop is
intentionally designed to run on the leadership of the boys, starting
with the Senior Patrol Leader. In
this way, a boy can learn the value and responsibility of leadership, a
hallmark of the American Boy Scouting program.
