As we discussed at August Parent meeting, we are looking to expand our recruiting efforts and provide more visibility to the community about Troop 834 as an organization in the area that helps contribute to our community as well as providing a solid foundation for local boys in the community. One of the methods is to be more visible in local events.
To that end we are going to participate in multiple local public events and have a booth with flyers, scout tent, our new game we can take to these events and when available some camping/scout gear to capture attention of those attending the event to come and look at what we do.
We need your help to staff these events. Ideally please sign up for multiple blocks as we have a limited number of families, so sign up for what you can. Ideally these efforts will pay off in expanding the troop, which in turn makes these events and other volunteer activities easier. As the saying goes…”many hands make light the work”. We want to get more hands!!
The Patrol Leader council meant in July and came up with a plan for events they want to participate in this fall. Please check the calendar below and RSVP in time or as early as you can!
Summer camp this year is at Heritage Scout Reservation on July 9. All information is posted here. Be sure to read the full document which contains info for scouts and parents. Events & Outings
Congratulations to Troop 834’s newest Eagle Scout: David Hand!
Boy Scout Troop 834 congratulates David Hand, of Bridgeville, on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout on Feb 7, 2023
David (CVSD 2023) is the son of Tom and Liz Hand and the brother of Lucy (CVSD 2018) and Niles (CVSD 2016 and a fellow Eagle Scout). He is a member of Boy Scout Troop 834, now chartered at New Life Church in Bridgeville.
To earn the rank of Eagle Scout, a Scout must earn at least 21 merit badges and demonstrate leadership and community service by organizing and carrying out an Eagle project. For his project, David refurbished and updated meeting spaces at Corpus Christi Parish’s Assumption Hall. This much needed update allowed the Parish to have two new handicapped accessible meeting spaces.
As a senior at Chartiers Valley, David is a 4 year member of the Showband, concert band, jazz band and a member of the National Honor Society. This year, David serves as drumline captain and band treasurer. After graduation, David plans to attend a 4 year university majoring in engineering.
Our Laurel Highlands Council offers merit badge classes at Camp Guyasuta for scouts to attend short sessions and get a merit badge. Take a look below at classes offered locally at Camp Guyasuta.
Be sure to check out the Hoagie Sale page for a chance to earn money for the troop and your scout account. Thanks to Colin and Kerry for organizing this fundraiser!
