About Troop 3054
Rooted in Rotterdam, dedicated to building character and leadership in every Scout who walks through our doors.
Our Story
A tradition of adventure and service in Rotterdam
Founded in 1941 as Troop 54, Troop 3054 has been a cornerstone of Scouting in the Rotterdam area for over eight decades. Chartered by the Jefferson Elementary Parent Teacher Organization and supported by the Twin Rivers Council, our troop has helped generations of young people discover the outdoors, develop leadership skills, and become engaged members of their community.
From our earliest campouts to producing 59 Eagle Scouts who go on to serve their communities and country, Troop 3054 carries forward the proud tradition of Scouting America. Today, as a family troop welcoming both boys and girls, we're writing the next chapter of that story - and there's room for your family in it.
Our Leaders
Dedicated volunteers who guide our Scouts every step of the way
William Mau
Committee Chair
Runs the troop committee and its meetings, keeps the budget and the paperwork in order, and makes sure every position is filled by a trained adult, so the Scoutmaster and her team can focus on the program.
Julie Yanson
Scoutmaster
The troop's lead adult mentor. Trains the youth leaders so the Scouts run their own troop, plans the outdoor program with them, and helps each Scout along the trail to Eagle.
Julie Dion
Chartered Organization Representative
Our link to the Jefferson Elementary Parent Teacher Organization, which charters the troop. Approves every adult leader's application and represents the troop on the district committee.
Assistant Scoutmasters
Assistant Scoutmasters support the Scoutmaster by mentoring patrols, leading skill instruction, supervising outings, and stepping in to ensure every Scout gets the attention they need.
Committee Members
Committee Members handle the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the troop running, from fundraisers and transportation to equipment and advancement records.
Every adult position, who holds it, and where we could use a hand is on Get Involved.
What Is Scouting America?
A proven program for developing character, citizenship, and fitness
Scouting America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America) is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. Since 1910, Scouting has helped millions of young people develop leadership, outdoor skills, and a commitment to serving others.
The Scouts BSA program serves youth ages 11-17 through a system of ranks, merit badges, and outdoor experiences. Scouts advance through seven ranks, culminating in the prestigious Eagle Scout rank - achieved by less than 6% of all Scouts.

Our Values
The Scout Oath and Scout Law guide everything we do
Every meeting opens with the Scout Oath and Scout Law, and every Scout learns both for their first rank.
Read the Scout Oath and LawA Family Troop
Troop 3054 is a Family Troop, an official model supported by Scouting America that allows both male and female Scouts to be part of the same troop under one charter and one committee. Siblings and friends can share the Scouting experience together.
All Scouts in our troop participate in the same activities, earn the same ranks, from Scout to Eagle, and go on the same campouts and high-adventure trips. Per Scouting America policy, patrols within the troop remain single-gender, but the troop operates as one unified team. Our leadership training, service projects, and outdoor programs are fully inclusive.
Being a family troop also means our parent community is deeply connected. When families can be involved together, the entire troop benefits from stronger engagement, more volunteers, and a richer program for everyone.
