Troop 102 Boerne TX

03/31/2026

Twenty miles. Five historic missions. One unforgettable adventure.

This weekend, our Troop 102 took on an incredible journey through San Antonio, hiking mile after mile while stepping back in time at each of the city’s historic missions. From the quiet beauty of the early morning start to the final stretch fueled by determination and teamwork, every step told a story.

Along the way, we explored centuries-old architecture, learned about the rich history that shaped our community, and strengthened our bonds as a troop. There were tired legs, plenty of laughs, and moments of reflection that reminded us why we do what we do.

This trek was also part of our preparation for summer trip to Philmont, pushing our endurance and teamwork to the next level as we get ready for even bigger adventures ahead.

Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. Here’s to pushing limits, discovering history, and making memories that will last a lifetime. ⚜️

Some Troop 102 history on Main Street.

Before Tusculum Brewing Company, the building on Main Street was home to H.O. Adler’s general store - the biggest store in town, where you could buy just about anything from soup to dynamite.

Adler also served as Scoutmaster of Boerne’s Troop 102, guiding generations of young men and even leading wartime scrap drives during WWII, when Boy Scouts gathered everything from bacon grease to railroad spikes to support the war effort.

In this month’s Musings of JEV, John Eddie Vogt reflects on the legacy of H.O. Adler, Troop 102, and a time when the Boy Scouts helped power the home front.

Members of Philmont 2026 and 2027 scouts just wrapped up an incredible three-day backpacking trip at Buffalo Trails Scout Ranch over MLK weekend. Seven scouts and six adult leaders braved 20-degree nights, conquered 1,000+ feet of elevation gain in under a mile, and completed a challenging circuit through some of BTSR's best backcountry.

From Pole Pens to Ezra’s Bedground, past Needle Rock and through White Tank, our crew learned essential wilderness skills like bear bag hanging water filtration and thr Bearmuda Triangle while experiencing the kind of adventure that builds character and creates lasting memories.

This was our 5th backpacking trip to BTSR, and we're already planning number six for next year! Huge thanks to Ranger Keith for getting us squared away and to our amazing adult leaders for making this trip possible.

The scouts' spirits were high, the stars were bright, and that McDonald's in Fort Stockton never tasted so good! 😄

Proud to be Texas's second oldest troop, still going strong with high-adventure scouting!

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BEAUTIFUL GRAPE ARBOR AT THE LIBRARY? 🌿

Located just to the left of the Boerne Public Library, between the library and the used bookstore, this grape arbor creates a peaceful walkway as you head toward the backyard area with the amphitheater and playground.

Completed in 2011 as an Eagle Scout project, it’s a small but meaningful detail that adds charm and character to the library grounds. An easy thing to walk past, and a nice reminder to slow down and enjoy the space next time you’re there.
