So what do scouts do? What is scouting all about?

And how could this program be helpful and relevant to our children in 2026?

Well, this image pretty much sums it up. Thank you to Mrs Merritt for finding this one!

Take a look at Troop 85’s new recruitment ad!

Please share this on your Facebook or Instagram pages and help us reach families throughout the Poconos!

For those checking out our page for the first time, you might be surprised to learn that there’s something pretty special about Troop 85: we’re part of the history of the Poconos.

For 85 years, Troop 85 has been giving young people something that lasts far beyond a camping trip — adventure, friendship, confidence, leadership and memories that last a lifetime.

Founded by Pocono-area families in 1941, we’re still here.

Still camping. Still serving. Still building leaders.

And now, we’re looking for a new generation of Scouts — and adult leaders — to help carry Troop 85 into its next 85 years!

🦅 Last year, we celebrated our 100th Eagle Scout — an extraordinary milestone for one troop and a legacy we are incredibly proud to have built right here in our community.  From generation, to generation, to generation.

Boys and girls ages 11–17 are welcome. No Scouting experience is necessary.

📅 Come see what Troop 85 is all about!

Beginning in September, we meet Tuesday nights at 7:00 PM at the Old Fire Hall on Route 611 in Tannersville — next to Jimmy’s “Gabel’s Ice Cream,” in the same building as Competition Auto. We will be announcing our first meeting soon.

Questions? Call our Committee Chair Margaret Kinsley at (570) 656-2644.

The first 100 Eagles are part of our community’s history. Who will be next?

🔥 YOUR CHILD’S ADVENTURE STARTS HERE — RIGHT HERE IN TANNERSVILLE!

EAGLE SCOUT LEGEND: STEVEN SPIELBERG—Long before Steven Spielberg became one of the most influential filmmakers in history, he earned the rank of Eagle Scout.

His journey behind the camera even has roots in Scouting. While working toward the Photography merit badge, a young Spielberg created an 8mm film, helping spark a lifelong passion for visual storytelling.

From Jaws and E.T. to Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List, Spielberg went on to shape generations of filmmaking. In 1989, he was also recognized with the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award.

His story is a reminder that the skills, interests, and confidence developed through Scouting can become the foundation for extraordinary things.

Once an Eagle, always an Eagle.

On this , let's learn more about the first known Eagle Scout who was black/African American and paved the way for many other Black and African American Scouts in Scouting America.

Hamilton Bradley:

Bradley is believed to be the first Black Eagle Scout in America, whose court of honor was held on December 19, 1919. He was one of two Scouts selected to represent New York at the Eastern States Exposition in 1920, and after turning 18, he became an assistant Scoutmaster.

Bradley's Eagle Scout court of honor was held at the Rome Free Academy, according to the Rome Daily Sentinel.

After turning 18, Bradley became an assistant scoutmaster for Troop 2 in Rome, demonstrating his continued involvement and leadership in Scouting, according to a report from scouting history website.

Before the discovery of Hamilton Bradley's achievement, Harry Cooper of Missouri was thought to be the first Black Eagle Scout, having earned the award in September 1920.
