Troop 24 New Freedom, PA

Troop 24 New Freedom, PA BSA Troop 24 in New Freedom, PA Way back on February 11, 1924, a group of citizens in the New Freedom community got together and chartered a Boy Scout troop. E.

This original troop was Troop 1 and was started with 19 scouts, a scoutmaster, 2 assistant scoutmasters and a troop committee of 4 men. Listed on this original charter application were Reverend L. Teter as scoutmaster, M. Smith and Harry Miller as assistants and the charter organization was a Group of Citizens. Troop 1 remained active until 1926. On June 20, 1930, Troop 24 received it's first char

ter. This troop was again sponsored by a Group of Citizens until 1935 when the New Freedom Lion's Club became the sponsor and has remained our sponsor since. Troop 24 earns its operating capital through our monthly paper drives and from snowball sales at the New Freedom Lion's Club carnival held each July. The scouts earn credit by working the paper drives and snowball stand and that credit goes to help defray the cost of summer camp. Troop 24 has been a successful participant in the community through lots of hard work by the scouts and the support by the many adult leaders, parents and the business community. The scouts of Troop 24 will continue to be a integral part of the community as it strives to remain true to the spirit of scouting.

Troop 24 hosted a Wilderness First Aid certification course this weekend. Scouts, leaders and parents from New Freedom’s Troop 24, Shrewsbury’s Troop 90, and Glen Rock’s Troop 48 participated in this 2-day course. This valuable training is a step up from basic first aid, covering treatment for more significant injuries, medical concerns and life-threatening emergencies in the outdoors. Participants also received CPR and AED training and certification. This course was great in preparing for our upcoming High Adventure trips. *Note: Injuries shown here were simulated for training purposes!
