Troop History
Troop 152 was first chartered in April 2003, with six Webelo Scouts bridging from Pack 152. These six Scouts became the ‘Falcon Patrol’ and Troop 152 was born. Mr. Garrett Mears was the first Scoutmaster, Mr. Don Hiller the Charted Organization Representative and Mr. Joseph Polli, the Troop Committee Chairman.
From these humble beginnings, Troop 152 has grown quickly and currently has over fifty active Scouts, five Patrols and fourteen Assistant Scoutmasters.
Troop Vision
Troop 152 is a Scout run, adult supervised organization, with a goal to provide an atmosphere for growth, in which a Scout may develop into a young adult who is a mature and responsible citizen.
A Scout is supported by: his Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, the Assistant Scoutmaster, Scoutmaster, and the Troop Committee Chair. If there is a question, use this “Chain of Command” as a resource.
To accomplish our vision, the Troop provides each Scout with the opportunity to:
- Be helpful and to do his best
- Develop new interests and learn new skills
- Develop self-esteem
- Grow through Leadership, Skills, and Training
- Handle the responsibilities he has to God, to Country, to others and to himself
- Have new experiences
- Keep himself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight
- Learn the fundamental elements of teamwork
- Prepare for new and greater challenges
- Take responsibility for his conduct, his appearance, and his achievements
- ....and foremost: to have FUN
Troop Activities
Troop 152 believes strongly that the key to the scouting program's success is leadership developed through outdoor skills and activities. We have an active program that encourages the Scout to participate in camping, backpacking, and other oudoor adventure sports such as canoeing, kayaking, climbing, cycling and caving. As a Scout grows in capability and strength, we also encourage participation in BSA National High Adventure activities such as Philmont Scout Ranch, Florida Sea Base, and Northern Tier.

In Boys Scouts, we have an annual requirement for all Scouts and Scouters participating in water sports. This is part of the BSA Safe Swim Defense. (See below.) All youth and adult participants are designated as swimmers, beginners, or nonswimmers based on swimming ability confirmed by standardized BSA swim classification tests. Each group is assigned a specific swimming area with depths consistent with those abilities. The classification tests must be renewed annually, preferably at the beginning of the season even if the Scout has earned the Swimming merit badge.
"No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way." Lord Robert Baden-Powell, Founder of Scouting
In our Troop, a Court of Honor is held every three months. This is a formal recognition for the Scouts of the Troop of their advancement and attainment of Merit Badges with families, friends, and the public in attendance. It is also a time when Scout Spirit is in full display. All Scouts who have moved up to any rank except Eagle Scout, or who have earned merit badges since the last court of honor, will be recognized.
“The spirit is there in every boy; it has to be discovered and brought to light.” - Lord Baden Powell, Founder and first Chief Scout of The Boy Scouts Association.
