Paoli Troop 1 BSA

Paoli Troop 1 Boys Scouts of America, headquartered on Radnor Road in Wayne, was founded at the Good Samaritan Church in Paoli and was originally chartered in New York City in March 1911. Since it was the first Scout Troop in the area, it became Paoli 1. The Troop has kept this name despite its move to suburban Wayne in 1924. The Troop’s first Scoutmaster, the Reverend Horace A. Walton, was pastor of the church. There were only two scout patrols, at the founding of the Troop, the Wolves and the Lions, and most of the early Scouts were members of the choir. In 1915, the Colour Patrol was organize with special privileges in guarding and carrying the colors of the Troop. The Eagle Patrol was added in 1919. In keeping with the historic nature of the patrols, the Troop continues to retain these four patrols. The Fox Patrol, originally formed around 1926, is periodically re-activated during period of large Troop membership. The Troop’s Drum and Bugle Corps, originally a separate patrol, was established in the 1920’s. Today, we are an active troop in our 113th year of continued service to our boys and the community. We provide an opportunity for high adventure, the development of key leadership skills, and the focus on core values of good citizenship, all while having fun in the outdoors! Hiking, camping, canoeing, kayaking, backpacking keep us going. Oh, and look for us every year marching in the Wayne/Radnor Memorial Day Parade.
