Brief History

Boy Scout Troop 28 was founded in 1986 as an offshoot of Troop 82 Providence. Troop 28 was originally sponsored by St. Sebastian Roman Catholic Church on Cole Avenue.

Central Congregational Church had originally sponsored Troop 8 Providence that still has remnants in the congregation of the church. The founding Scoutmasters of Troop 28 were David Johnson, Marcel Goulet, and Ted Sanderson. Under the leadership of Mr. Greg Marsello in 1990, Troop 28 was firmly founded at Central Congregational Church.

Troop 28 meets every Tuesdays at 7:00-8:15 at Central, 296 Angell Street in Providence, Rhode Island.  We are chartered by Boy Scouts of America, Narragansett Council, Netop  District.

All boys interested in participating in the Boy Scouts of America program are welcome to join. In 2003, the Troop stood against the BSA policy disallowing scout membership to gays (article in The Providence Journal, and we reaffirmed our disagreement with the policy again in 2012 with this letter to the National office.).
