Boy Scout Troop 185

Boy Scout Troop 185 Boy Scout Troop 185 was chartered on July 5, 1950 into the Keystone Area Council, which is now a part of the New Birth of Freedom Council. ft. meeting house.

The Troop and Cub Pack, which was chartered in 1952, have maintained continuous registration for over 60 years. We are sponsored by The Penn Township Volunteer Fire Co. No. 50, which is located in the village of Huntsdale, 1750 Pine Road, Newville, Pa 17241. The Troop Committee leases and maintains a two acre tract of mountain ground located near the base of South Mountain, Cumberland Co., Pa. On

that two acre tract, the Committee also maintains an 1,800 sq. Known as “THE SCOUTHOUSE”, this facility is used exclusively for Scout meetings, camp outs and other related activities. Over 500 Scouts and Scouters have been on or currently on our membership rolls. We have a very active hiking and camping schedule, along with several community service events planned during this year. We currently have 27 adults and 40 plus youth members registered. Scouting skills and advancement are given a high priority along with leadership development and putting the Scouting Principles into everyday practice. The Troop has produced 42 Eagle Scouts, which is over twice the national average. Because of our rural location and environment our membership numbers are not high, but the quality of the program is. In 2010, eleven Scouts and leaders from Troop 185 completed their Philmont Trek. We also have an active Parents Auxiliary, which staffs and operates fund raising events. This provides the dollars necessary to maintain our facilities and programs. If you embrace commitment and hard work mixed with a good dose of fun and fellowship, perhaps Troop and Pack 185 might be the right place for you and your son!!! Contact information:
