Fundraiser 2020!
Due to situations beyond our control due to COVID-19, we are unable to run our plant sale this year. However we are happy to announce that Troop 1 will be launching on Monday April 27th, a virtual 5K walk/run or 10K bike ride. Each scout will write a small "personal" message to their sponsors. Then the scout will participate with their family to complete the 5K walk/run or 10K bike ride. Please consider a donation to allow us to continue our scouting program. |

Troop 1 is 100 years old!
 Today, January 7th is the 100th Anniversary of Troop #1. This is a wonderful achievement since very few Troops in the United States have reached or will ever reach this impressive milestone. We should be proud that we are one of the oldest Troops in the United States. What makes this so impressive is that Troop 1 has never stopped being an active Troop even through World War II and other world events that have occurred since 1916. This major achievement could not have been reached without the many Scouts that have crossed our doorway over the years and the hundreds of parents who have supported our program and entrusted their sons to the care of our faithful leadership. As you reflect on this achievement, think about some of the following things:
I personally want to thank all of you for my memories and the laughter and the friendships since being part of Troop #1. This has been a life changing experience for me as well as the other leaders of the Troop, both past and present. I would also like to thank the Members and Staff of Abington Presbyterian Church for their constant support of the Troop over all these years. Without their support, this achievement could not have been reached. What a wonderful partnership we have with the Church! Troop #1 has a rich history and heritage that we all should be very proud to be a part of. As we enter the second century of this journey, I wish for all of our past, present and future Scout families much happiness as we make the difference in the world and in the lives of our sons as they become young men and our future leaders. Please share this email with the individual scouts that are not included in this email. Yours In Scouting: John H. Dean |
