For those who might not know, Wood Badge is the advanced national training program for Scouting America leaders. It requires hours of dedication, leadership development, and a deep commitment to delivering the best possible Scouting program for our youth.

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes: Troop 1071 & Pack 1071 at Veterans Park 🇺🇸

​This evening, the Scouts of Scouting America Troop 1071 and Pack 1071 had the honor of participating in a monument dedication ceremony at Veterans Park in Matamoras.

​The beautiful new monument stands as a lasting tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of our women Veterans.
​
Our Scouts did an incredible job leading the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance. The girls from Troop 1071 also had the privilege of laying a memorial wreath at the base of the monument to honor those who served.

​Thank you to the organizers for inviting us to be a part of this event, and a heartfelt thank you to all the women who have served and continue to serve our country.

Last night marked our final regular meeting before we head into summer break.

​The scouts put their pioneering skills to the test trying to construct a rope bridge. Did we quite cross the finish line? Not entirely—but we came incredibly close, learned a ton about teamwork under pressure, and had a blast trying!
​
It was also the final regular Troop meeting for Mikey and our current Senior Patrol Leader, Danny, before they officially age out. Both of these young men have given so much to Troop 1071, leading by example and leaving behind big shoes to fill. We are so incredibly proud of the leaders they’ve become!
​
We couldn't send everyone off into summer without a little celebration, so we capped the night off the best way we know how—with plenty of ice cream.

A big thanks to Mrs. Phillips for once again letting us invade her property!

🦅🏕️ AN ACTION-PACKED WEEKEND FOR TROOP 1071! 🌲🎒

Our scouts were absolutely crushing it across two different locations all weekend long.

First, four of our scouts and two adult leaders laced up their boots and headed into the woods for a two-night backpacking trip through Harriman State Park.

Meanwhile, another awesome crew of scouts turned out to support Mikey’s Eagle Scout Service Project at the Delaware Valley Raptor Center at Lily Pond. Mikey rehabbed an enclosure for an injured Golden Eagle.

​A huge thank you to all the leaders, parents, and scouts who made this non-stop weekend possible.

Another productive (and fun!) Monday night in the books! ⚜️
​
Troop 1071 spent the evening prepping for summer camp and working on rank advancements! It’s incredible to see these Scouts setting goals, helping one another, and knocking out their prerequisites before we head out to summer camp.
​
Of course, we had to leave time for some fun—we wrapped up the meeting with an epic game of Sharks and Minnows! 🦈🏃‍♂️ Hard work and high energy—tonight was proof of how much fun Scouting is. 🌲✨

🇺🇸 Our scouts took a major step forward in their leadership journeys at our meeting last night!

While adults across the commonwealth are heading to the polls today for the Pennsylvania primary elections, our youth were busy practicing their own civic duty a few hours early.

As a youth-led troop, one of our most important traditions is holding our own elections to choose the leaders who will guide our upcoming adventures, service projects, and weekly meetings.

Please join us in giving a massive round of applause to our newly elected leadership team, including our brand-new Senior Patrol Leader and 5 new Patrol Leaders!

Stepping up to lead your peers takes courage, dedication, and a commitment to the Scout Oath and Law. We are incredibly proud of everyone who put their name forward for election last night—the future of Troop 1071 is in great hands!
