Ours is a year-round program offering weekly meetings as well as camping and hiking, skiing, service

them in citizenship, service, and leadership.

Richard Black, John Redell and Arnie Sticklin. Our Chartered Organization Representative and Committee
Member is Larry Miller. These men all have trained status with the Five Rivers Council, BSA. We are very
proud of our Scoutmaster Tom Owlett, Sr., who did complete his Woodbadge Training in 2006, which is the
highest level of leadership training offered. Troop 24 is a unit of the Williamson Road District of the Five
Rivers Council, BSA of Corning, New York and we are represented by Ron Earley as District Chairman,

Summary 2007
In August 2007, eight Scouts and four adult leaders traveled to Cimarron, New Mexico, to the Philmont Scout Ranch where they explored the high-country on a 12-day backpacking expedition. They worked very hard with fundraisings to cover the cost and in early Spring they began the physical training to prepare themselves to carry the 35-50 lb. backpacks so they could hike between 6,500 and 12,500 ft. elevations. The members of Troop 24 remain grateful for the opportunity they had to travel to Philmont as an entire crew.
Service projects are important to Scouting and Troop 24 tries to incorporate as many as possible into their schedule. The troop members continue to transport Green Home residents to the concerts on The Green, collect food in November during Scouting for Food, Christmas caroling for the residents of the Carlton Nursing Home, and they assist at the Tioga Visitors’ Welcome Center “Coffee Breaks” during the Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends, serving coffee, donuts and pizza to travelers.
Wellsboro Troop 24 appreciates the Church’s sponsorship and the use of their facilities:
“We thank you for the many years of support and look forward to continuing with our long history together.”
First Presbyterian has been a continuous charter sponsoring organization for Troop 24 for over 60 years, being one of the longest continuous sponsoring organizations in Five Rivers Council.

Knots and Lashing Instruction 2007

A Scout is friendly and cheerful----invite some
friends to join Scouts!
The fact that a boy is an Eagle
Scout carries with it a special significance, not only in Scouts
but also as he enters higher education, business, or industry, and
community service. The award is a performance-based achievement
whose standards have been well-maintained over the years. Not every
boy who joins Scouts earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 4% of
all Boy Scouts do so. This represents more than 1 million Scouts
who have earned the rank since 1911. Nevertheless, the goals of
Scouting---citizenship training, character development, and personal
fitness---remain important for all Scouts, whether or not they attain
the Eagle Scout rank.
Troop 24s Eagles include:
Bill Bachman, Lee Bellinger, Karl
Frantz, John Kantz, Warren Kirschbaum, Andrew Meyer, Jay Owen,
Edward Owlett, Dustin Davis, Bill
Lockhart, Jeff Stager, Andrew Stager, Tom Owlett, Tom Ulmer,
John Vatcher, Mark
Wilcox, Clyde Wimbrough, Harry Wimbrough, John Wimbrough, Karl Meyer,
Adam Yacovissi, Daren Bryant,
Eric Redell, Adam Rice, Michael Bilder, Chris Redell, Josh Sticklin,
Clifford Wood, Tim Shaw, James Reese, Josh Redell, Nick Frisbie, Tom Miller, Levi Hewitt.
We are proud of them all----can we add your
name to our list?
