Why is this repeating? This is an old story and not true, this is not the last scout troop in Syracuse, it wasn't true when this got originally posted and it's not true now. WTF is going on here?

I only found one other BSA troop in Syracuse, a girls-only BSA troop 150.  At that time in Syracuse, did the author miss another traditional boy scout troop beside Troop 1?

I hope so as only 3 boy scouts in a city of 140,000+ is discouraging.
