About Troop 110 ~
Our
beloved troop founder and scoutmaster
emeritus, Wayne
Barnes,
HISTORY
of TROOP 110
Troop
110 was started in 1985 as Troop 102 with 5 registered
Scouts; Wayne Barnes (pictured right) was the first
Scoutmaster. The unit was chartered as Troop 110 to the
Contempo Homeowners Association of Union City in 1986;
another small Troop, unit 177, merged with us in
1989.
Our
succession of illustrious Scoutmasters includes David Drake
(1990), Tom Hepler (1992), Martin Smith (1994), Dana Smith
(1996), Bill Westcott (1999), Mike Magno (2002), Bruce Chan
(2004), John Gillen (2008), Shawn Smith (2011), Bruce Chan
(2012) Randy Heald (2013), Sandeep Kundra (2015), Jeremy
Oats (2019), and Sreev Doddabalapur (2020). Many of our past
Scoutmasters remain members of Troop 110, continuing a
tradition of active involvement in
Scouting.
In
recent years, Troop 110 has wholeheartedly embraced the
Digital Age. We have 100% participation in our troop email
list and it is available to all registered members for
sending email to the troop. On our Troop website you will
always find the latest information on the Troop calendar, as
well as pictures, stories, Patrol and leader rosters and
email addresses. If there is something you want to know
about the Troop, visit www.bsatroop110.org to find
it.
110
is an eclectic Troop, with interests ranging from
adventurous to cerebral to culinary. Memorable events
include three whitewater canoe trips on the Klamath River,
backpacking and snow camping in the Sierras camping on
Alcatraz, and countless other campouts, during which our
adult leadership has established a growing reputation for
fine wilderness dining. Our annual community service
activities include Scouting for Food, Memorial Day flag
decoration at Golden Gate National Cemetery and Thanksgiving
Day meal delivery for the Newark League of Volunteers (LOV).
Many of our Scouts excel in school and extracurricular
activities, while perfecting their Scouting skills; many
have graduated high school with honors and gone onto college
careers while maintaining their membership in the
Troop.
Whatever
you and your family expect to gain from the Scouting
program, we are confident you will find many opportunities
for achievement and adventure - and fun! - with the Scouts,
Scouters and families of Troop 110. We look forward to your
participation, we welcome your involvement, and we thank you
for your interest and your
support.
Tom
Sims
T110
passed away in January of 2018. Rest in
peace, Wayne.
