Camp Horseshoe Is This Week

While the scouts are at camp you can watch the webcam of the parade field – maybe you’ll spot them during the nightly retreat at 5:45pm – and send email to your scout. Any emails sent to your scout are printed and given to the adult leaders to hand out to scouts each day.

Family and friends can come visit on Friday starting at 1:30pm
Visitors will have a special check-in table located in the parking lot

2:30pm Water Carnival
5:45pm Evening Retreat

Then feel free to bring a picnic dinner and attend the 8:30pm closing campfire.

Open House & Outing – Spring 2024

Boys & their parents are invited to meet Boy Scout Troop 14 – a boy-led Scout troop with over 100 years of experience preparing young men to make ethical and moral choices through outdoor adventures.

What is a boy-led troop? The boys are responsible for planning and executing all activities & meetings, from menu planning to games & outings. This helps them develop leadership skills, learn how to work together as a team, and gain confidence in their own abilities.

What are typical troop activities? The boys go on a trip almost every month via the troop bus. In the past this included whitewater rafting, kayaking, skiing, axe throwing, hiking, biking, and inter-patrol games. In July the troop attends Camp Horseshoe for a week of fun & learning.

Troop 14 – Scout Meeting

When: Monday, May 6th at 7:30PM
Where: United Methodist Church, 129 S High Street in West Chester, PA 19382

Boat Outing / Camping

When: Saturday, May 18th 
Where: Marsh Creek & Warwick County Park

RSVP Required & Parents or guardians will have to accompany prospective Scouts.
An email with all the details will be sent out after registration.
