Troop 1969 was started in 2015. Our home parish is Holy Family Parish in Yakima Washington, but we do have families from surrounding parishes in the Yakims Diocese as well. The Ahtanum Mission also in Yakima Serves as sort of a base camp for us and we hold many of our events at this beautiful historical Mission location. We aim to increase in virtue as we serve God, our local parishes and communities.
