Brief History:
Troop 2 was chartered on October 28, 1919 through Sacred Heart Parish in Charleston.
In the century that followed, 68 boys have earned the rank of Eagle Scout, Scouting’s highest award, and hundreds of boys have
been members of the troop. As one of the oldest troops in Charleston and the oldest troop continuously sponsored by a Catholic
church in the state, we are proud to share this moment with the parishioners of the Basilica of the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, whose support has been a large part of our success.
We are hopeful to meet any former members of the troop during our activities and would love to hear their remembrances so that we can add those to our troop history. We look forward to future activities in scouting and working with the Basilica on projects.
