Tonight, Tannersville Troop 85 visited the Pocono Mountain Ecumenical Hunger Ministry in Tobyhanna to learn how we can support their community service needs this summer and in the future. Lorraine has volunteered and led the food pantry for over 28 years.

This food pantry serves 150–200 families in Pocono, Coolbaugh, and Paradise Townships. In addition to food, they also provide critical non-food supplies such as toilet paper, toothpaste, adult diapers, and infant diapers. These items are always needed and greatly appreciated.

During the tour, we also got to see Troop 85 Eagle Scout John Pomeroy’s Eagle project from three years ago. John along with members of Troop 85 built a dozen commercial-grade pallets to help the pantry meet the requirement of keeping food at least two inches off the ground. His pallets raised the food six inches off the ground, and we learned tonight that all 12 pallets are still in use. Not one has needed repair.

It is amazing what can be done with decking lumber, screws , and some good old-fashioned Boy Scout ingenuity!!

Looking for something meaningful for your child?

Troop 85 has been serving the Tannersville community since 1941, helping young people build confidence, leadership, and real-world skills through outdoor adventure.

We’re proud to share that just last night we celebrated our 100th Eagle Scout — a milestone that reflects decades of dedication, mentorship, and achievement.

At Troop 85, new Scouts are welcomed right away, encouraged to participate, and given real opportunities to build confidence, friendships, and leadership skills.

From camping and hiking to teamwork and the path to Eagle Scout, this is more than just an activity — it’s a Poconos experience that shapes character.

Send us a message here on Facebook to get details on how your child can join Troop 85. We meet Tuesdays at 7:00 PM at the old Pocono Township Fire Hall on Route 611. Ages 11–17 are welcome.

We invite our community and Scouting families, past and present, to help spread the word by sharing this post.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. May Dr. King's dream for America continue to inspire our Scouts and our nation to do what is right for generations to come.

Please Note: The Council Service Center will be closed today in observance of the holiday.

It’s the season of giving, and what better way to give than potentially saving a human life?
