About Us

Established in 1921, Troop 1 is the oldest continually active, chartered, Boy Scout Troop in the Jersey Shore Council. It was founded in downtown Toms River at the Presbyterian Church of Toms River in the old Church building on Washington St. that is now part of the Ocean County Library. The Troop moved to its present location when the Presbyterian Church moved to its new home on Hooper Ave. The Troop meets on Tuesday nights, from 7 to 9 pm in Fellowship Hall. Activities at the weekly meetings are planned and carried out by the Senior Patrol, and Patrol Leaders.

The Troop also camps each month at a pre- determined place somewhere within the North East. Trips range from Whitewater Rafting and canoeing, to West Point Football games, hiking the Appalachian Trail and camping in the Great Outdoors.

If you are interested in Troop 1, or Scouting in general, feel free to contact us by phone, Email, or stop by a meeting on Tuesday Night.

The Goals Of Troop 1

Troop 1 supports the goals of the Boy Scouts of America and has established the following guidelines to help accomplish these goals. The purpose of the Troop is to help the boy develop:

	RESPONSIBILITY - to the group as well as to himself.
	LEADERSHIP - which ultimately may save his life or the life of someone else.
	SELF RELIANCE - In which the process will be repeated, thereby fulfilling a guided discovery within himself.
