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
