Boy Scout Troop 1 of Passaic, NJ is the oldest Troop in the City of Passaic and continues to be very active in the community. Our Troop was first chartered as Boy Scout Troop 26 in the year 1921. The Troop first opened its doors to scouts at Holy Trinity R.C. in Passaic, NJ. Troop meetings were held every friday in the school gym from 1921 up until the year of shutting down its doors in the year 1998. The Troop then re-charted and found our new home at Holy Rosary R.C. Church from the year 2000-2003. Currently, our Boy Scout Troop will now be sponsored by members of the Pavlik Koster VFW Post 2642 in Wallington, NJ. Boy Scout Troop 1 (formerly Troop 26) has generated 17 Eagle Scouts and will be generating a couple more by the end of the year 2006. We are well on our way to committing our selves to the youth of the City of Passaic. Troop #26 was founded in 1921, 10 years after the Scouting movement was founded. Lawrence T. Boeglen Sr. was the first Scoutmaster of Troop #26 and also the first to receive the St. George Award in 1956 in the Diocese of Paterson. We had many Eagle Scouts in our Troop. Our first Eagle Scout was Albert Booth in 1940. Our next Eagle Scout candidates are Chintan Rana and Eric Kovac. They both are entering there fourth year in Scouting. We have had a long history and tradition at Holy Trinity Parish. At one time we had our own Marching Band and owned our own Scout Camp. Camp Schulte, in honor of Fr. Schulte. At the present we have 25 active members under the leadership of David Ovejero, Scoutmaster for the 38 years and two active Assistant Scoutmasters, Jerry Gonzalez ( 20 years), and Bob Parker (33 years). All of our adult leaders are active members of the Catholic Committee on Scouting and recipients of the Bronze Pelican and St. George Awards. Our troop has entered the digital age and can now be visited on the internet. We have a current calendar of events and other Boy Scout Links that people can visit. We also have an extensive photo album on the site. Our motto for our Boy Scout Troop is "Troop #26, Always Prepared". In 2006 our Boy Scout Troop celebrated our 85th anniversary with a huge turnout of supporters. Please continue your support to our troop. We will be conducting our Annual Hot Dog Gala in April of 2008. |
