The Blue Chip of Scout Troops

With History and Traditions Almost as Old as Scouting Itself.

We are known for our esprit de corps, discipline, uniforms,
marching, outdoor skills, high standards, older boys, pup tents,
and our rousing troop song.

(a suburb of St. Louis).

Remembering Robert "Bob" Barnes

January 22, 1939 to April 26, 2019

Bob was an Assistant Scoutmaster, associated with the Troop, Scouting and Cub Scouting for nearly 70 years. He, along with his brothers, Dave, Dick and Tom enriched the lives of many boys and helped form the troop into what it is today. He was a father, leader and molder of men. Troop 17 is mighty grateful for Bob Barnes.
