TROOP 416 - A History
Troop 416
was chartered in 1970 by the Saline Jaycees Club with a roster of six
scouts. As the Troop grew, meetings were held at the Saline Senior
Center and Jensen Elementary School. In 1976, Troop 416 presented its
first Eagle Scout Award. A decade later, with only eight Scouts in
1985, the Troop was absorbed into Troops 446 and 457. In 1992, with the
other Troops growing over capacity, there was a need once more for
another Saline Troop. Rechartered by the Saline American Legion, Troop
416 was reborn with boys under Scoutmasters Finkbeiner and Anderson. A
year later, Bill Bell took the helm as Scoutmaster bringing us to where
we are today.
