Boy Scout troop 524 is chartered by ORT and was started in
December of 2001 by former Scoutmaster David Kuykendall and other
leaders. The troop was started with a graduating group of Webelos
Cub Scouts. In 2005, Ron Spates took over the duties of the
Scoutmaster of the Troop. Our Scouts currently range in age
from 17 to 11 years old with an average age of 14. We
currently have several Scouts close to reaching the rank of
Eagle Scout, the pinnacle of Scouting.
Troop 524 is very active. We camp one weekend each month,
usually on the 3rd or 4th weekend. We
are also involved in several service and fund raising
projects. Some service projects help the cub scouts, some help
the church, and some help the community. Our Troop meets in
the Scout Hut at ORTUMC on Sundays at 6:30pm. Young men
interested in becoming a new Scout, current Scouts looking for
a new experience, and guests are always welcome.
Boy Scouts is a boy run organization. Adults are present to
guide, train, control, and protect. We believe that there is
no other way parents can obtain for their boy the advantages
in skills, leadership, discipline, and quality experience
gained by several years in a scout troop.
