About Our Troop
Troop 121 was chartered in February 1950 to the First United Methodist Church of Carrollton (FUMC). The Troop has been in operation since then, and is the oldest Troop in North District at over 60 years.
Troop 121 is a “backpacking” troop. In scouting terms, this means that for the majority of campouts, we camp “Philmont” style instead of “Jamboree” Style. We have 10 weekend trips every year plus a week long summer camp experience. Additionally we have a high adventure trip each year for older scouts.
Troop 121 is very involved in Junior Leader Training, both at the district level with the Oak Leaf program, and at the council level with the National Youth Leadership Training. The Troop is made up of several patrols, each with its own elected Patrol Leader. All the Patrol Leaders make up the Patrol Leaders’ Council (PLC). The PLC plans and carries out the program of the Troop.

Troop History
In February 1950, First United Methodist Church of Carrollton received a charter from the National Council, Boy Scouts of America to operate Boy Scout Troop 121 as an outreach ministry to the surrounding community. The charter has been renewed every year since and Troop 121 is now the oldest Boy Scout Troop in the North District of Circle Ten Council. First United Methodist also sponsors Cub Scout Pack 121 under the auspices of its school, Carrollton Christian Academy. In addition to the two units, for many years FUMC also supported Scouting by providing meeting space for Boy Scout Leaders’ Roundtable, Order of the Arrow Chapter meetings, and other resources as needed by the District and Council. more...
Troop 121 has consistently earned the Quality Unit Award and the National Camping Award. At summer camp, the boys are typically recognized as a Baden-Powel troop as well as winning the “Best Campsite.” Troop 121 is very proud of its past accomplishments, but they only served as the launching pad for providing great scouting for the boys of today.
2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the Troop.
