Troop '1' was founded in 1917. This Troop was originally known as Troop '1' because it was the first troop founded in this part of the state. Years later, all scout troops were given a three digit number: nevertheless, out of respect for the proud tradition of this Troop, it is still often affectionately referred to as Troop '1'.

You only have to look at the world and community in which we live today to realize that the goals and virtues of Scouting are needed now more than ever. Visit Scouting.org for more information about scouting.
