HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY

HAPPY 75^TH BIRTHDAY

On April 30^th 1943 while World War II was in full swing Troop 334 was first chartered at St Alban’s Church Ridge and Fairthorne Ave in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia. Now 75 years, 70 Eagle Scouts,  6 Scoutmasters, and 3 locations later we are still going strong and serving the youth of our area!  I want to thank current and past Scouts, Leaders, Committee and Parents of the Troop for making it possible. Some people think of Scouting as just a thing to get their kids into but those who know use realize that 334 is more than just a Boy Scout Troop it is a family. Like any family nothing is perfect but we have always come together, met and overcome our changes to keep 334 going. Too many people say bad things of the youth of any given generation but few are willing to make a change…WE ARE! This is a great milestone and many troops today cannot say what we can say. Because we are so active and away from the church today visiting Philadelphia University we will be holding a 75^th recognition next Monday night at our current location Leverington Church Ridge and Hermitage at 7:30 pm please come out… Past Scouts, Leaders, Committee and Parents, we welcome you. There will be special guests, messages, door prizes and short video of our troop’s history.

THANK YOU ALL

Scoutmaster Troop 334
