At the Scouting Convocation at St. Agnes Cathedral on Sept 21st,
Most Rev. William Murphy, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre (Suffolk and Nassau Counties), selected our troop as an example of a unit that runs an exemplary Scouting program especially as regards our dedication to leadership, service and the twelfth point of the Scout Law.  We served as colorguard for the Convocation.  Our troop was presented with a commemorative streamer for our troop flag and each Scout will receive a Bishop's Troop Neckerchief to be worn as part of our dress uniform this year.
