Troop 51 is an active and robust Troop, and its entirely due to active and robust adult leadership. We are very thankful for those who adorned the Scoutmaster patch, volunteering countless hours to lead this troop on the scouting trail!
All the Troop 51 Scoutmasters have strived to uphold the scouting promise to every scout:
- Hike in open country and camp under the stars
- Learn how to enjoy the outdoors while leaving no trace
- Become physically and mentally stronger
- Practice leading yourself and others
- Learn skills that will help back home.

Meet: Justin Moya has been Scoutmaster for Troop 51 since 2022. Justin attained the Rank of Eagle Scout in 1998, in the Ventura County Council’s Troop 207 as well as Vigil in Order of the Arrow. From Scouting to the Marines to US Forest Service, to now Dept of Defense, Justin has been a public servant his entire life.
