| Our Organization |

Our
mission statement is to
build
character, citizenship and
leadership in these young men, by following the main scout
principles:
Scout Oath and
Law and
instill
in them
a sense of character, responsibility, and confidence. Troop 149 is led by the scouts under the direction of the Senior Patrol Leader and the Leadership Committee. This committee is made up of the Scoutmaster and his assistants and the Troop Committee. Our meetings are held every Monday from 7:00PM until 8:30PM at the Fellowship Hall of the Bethlehem United Methodist Church, in the scenic town of West Chester, County Seat of Chester County in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Every last Monday, the PLC (Patrol Leaders Council) holds a 'green bar' planning meeting with all the patrol and assistant patrol leaders to set the theme for the month. And every first Tuesday, our troop committee meets to review the direction and status of the program and to plan or review our fundraising efforts, finance status and coordinate troop events. The troop is divided into several Patrols, with each patrol having between 6 to 8 scouts. |

Why am
I a Leader?
"One
hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove,
what kind of house I lived in, how much was in my bank account, nor what
my clothes looked like. But the world may be a little better because I
was important in the life of a child." [Dr. Forest E.
Witcraft]
Big "Thank you" to
Carlin Coleman-Selby, of Illinois, for pointing out the author of
this quote. The quote has changed over the years and has been
attributed to 'unknown' or to Dr. Maria Montessori. Dr. Witcraft was
an American Scholar and a Scout Executive for the Central South
Dakota Council. This quote is as valid today as it was in the early
part of the 20th Century!
