We’re inviting all local boys (10-17) and their families to join us for an afternoon of fun, fellowship, and Scouting spirit! Come hang out with Troop 14 as we build a fire, roast s’mores, play games, and share what makes our troop such a great place for young boys to grow, learn, and lead. Best of all, no previous scouting experience necessary.
Bring your curiosity, your sense of adventure, and a friend – because the s’more the better!
PS: We’d love to know if you will be joining us! Please send us an email so we can plan ahead.
Troop 14 will be at the 2025 Cub Scout Spook-O-Ree at Camp Horseshoe, Friday, October 17 – Sunday, October 19.
Participating Cub Scouts will dive into hands-on activities, explore exciting program stations, race in the Blacklight Pinewood Derby, and enjoy the Trick-or-Treat Trail – complete with costumes, candy, and spooky surprises.
There’s something for everyone, from crafts and games to bottle rockets and campfire camaraderie. Scouts will make friends, learn new skills, and experience the thrill of “doing” that makes Scouting so special. Come join the excitement, live the Scout spirit, and make unforgettable memories with Troop 14 and Chester County Council!

For his Eagle project, Luca Urbanic chose to give back to a place close to his heart: West Chester Playschool, run by parents who roll up their sleeves and pitch in to help make the Playschool magic happen every day.
Luca, along with fellow scouts, transformed the school’s basement into a shelter-in-place area for the children. To make it safe and kid-friendly, the space was thoroughly cleaned and painted. Additionally, HVAC equipment was enclosed, and benches with built-in storage were installed.
Luca’s decision to undertake this project stemmed from his own positive experiences as a toddler attending the Playschool, making it a truly meaningful way for him to contribute to the community.
The United Methodist Church in West Chester was the setting for a memorable Eagle Scout Court of Honor, celebrating newly minted Eagle Scouts Luca Urbanic & Benjamin Pentz. After successfully completing their projects and boards of review, the two were joined by an assembly of family, friends, fellow scouts, and former troop members.
In July, 2024, Ben Pentz completed his Eagle Scout project at Paradise Valley Nature Area, in Downingtown, PA. Ben constructed and installed a visitor information kiosk at the Valley Creek Road parking area where many people come to fish Valley Creek all year round.
A unique component of Ben’s project is the custom addition of a free fly library (dubbed the “Flybrary”). The Flybrary is similar to the popular little free libraries that allow people to share and exchange free books, except in this case, the purpose is to allow people to share and exchange fishing flies and lures.
Ben’s project will not only promote the Township parks and events but will also foster goodwill amongst the fishing community and will bring exposure to the artful and enjoyable sport of fly fishing. The location holds a special, personal connection due to its proximity to Paradise Farm Camps, where he attended summer camp for the previous 10 years.
After successfully completing his project and board of review, Ben, along with freshly minted Eagle Scout Luca Urbanic, celebrated his Court of Honor at the United Methodist Church in West Chester, where they were joined by family, friends, fellow scouts and former troop members.

Early bird: $590.00 = $550 .00 + $40.00 troop fee to cover T-shirt, Tuesday night snack, Thursday night pizza, and troop picture.
Standard: $640.00 = $600.00 fee if paid after April 15th + $40.00 troop fee.
