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.

Strive for Five Program

The BSA is introducing a new incentive for scouts to bring a friend who isn’t already familiar with scouting – Webelos crossing over don’t count unfortunately. If that friend joins the troop, the scout will receive a limited edition CCCBSA Multi-Tool. If five new friends join the troop in total before the end of the year, the troop receives a credit towards weekend camping.

So bring your friends, tell them about our Open House happening next week and show them a good time at our camp out on May 20th.

Welcome to Another Year of Scouting

The Troop will be holding a Family Information Night next Monday October 3 @ 7:30. (During the weekly scout meeting)

Troop Leaders and Committee members will provide information on this year’s scout program including:

  • Annual camping schedule / weekend details
  • Fundraising goals
  • Opportunities to help the Troop
  • Information on open committee positions
  • Answer any questions or concerns you may have

Open Committee Positions
Please let the Committee Chairperson know if you are interested or would like additional information.

Recruitment: The Troop is always hoping to increase membership, which not only helps the troop but also brings in additional families that can potentially help with scout leadership or committee positions. This position develops a plan for year-round membership flow into the troop, works closely with Cubmasters from neighboring Cub Scouts, and helps plan and coordinate troop open houses.

Advancement: We will be in need of a new Advancement Chairman beginning 2023. This position encourages Scouts to advance in rank, maintain all Scout advancement records, and arrange troop boards of review. The current Advancement Chair, will assist you in getting up to speed on using the many programs to track the scouts’ advancements.
