History

386 Eagles and counting.

Troop 221 was chartered in 1938 at St. Mary's Church in Sugar Creek, Missouri. Roger Farrell was Eagle Scout #1. From that first Scout, the troop has been part of the same community for nearly 90 years.

For more than 80 years, the troop was chartered at St. Mary's — shaped by a succession of Scoutmasters whose names are still spoken at campfire closings. John P. Ryan, who passed away in 2025, served as a beloved leader for decades. Paul Arend, Louie Chandler, and others built the traditions that define the troop today.

One tradition above all defines Troop 221: Bartle, every year, without exception. H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation has been the troop's summer home for generations. We've camped all three camps at Bartle — a distinction few troops in the Heart of America Council can claim.

In 2018, the troop left its Catholic charter to become explicitly welcoming to all faiths and backgrounds. The city of Sugar Creek stepped in. Today the troop is chartered by the Sugar Creek community hall.

Every year on February 21st — 2/21 — alumni return for 221 Day. The 2025 event drew nearly 100 former Scouts and leaders back to Sugar Creek. The connection runs deep, across generations of the same families.

386 Eagle Scouts. One troop. Sugar Creek.
