Our Troop!
Who
are we?
We
are an active boy scout troop sponsored by the Bethlehem United
Methodist Church, in West Chester, PA. We are a Quality Unit in the
Lenni-Lenape district of
the
Chester County
Council in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Troop 149 was first chartered in
1960 and has since then provided
continuous service to the
community and to the boys that
are and have been part of the
troop. 62 young men have achieved the rank of Eagle
We are a
"SCOUT" led troop.
Under the
direction of our Scoutmaster and the Assistant Scoutmasters
the scouts are responsible in executing the troop program plans,
and the primary leadership responsibilities fall to senior scouts
with
active supervision by the adult committee. This
leadership is supported by our troop committee and by
the participation of the Scouts' parents, our Eagle Scouts, the
church community and our past Scout Masters.
Troop's 149
goal
is to
provide an
educational environment where boys and young adults thrive to build
character, personality, learn to be responsible citizens and to
enhance their personal fitness. Our mission statement reflects
that of the Boys Scouts of America ".
To prepare young people to make
ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them
the values of the Scout Oath and Law. |
COMING UP ACTIVITIES:

you posted! |
