Boy Scout Troop 125 Prepares to Re-charter
Our Boy Scout Troop 125 is preparing to re-charter for its 3rd year as a part of the Boy Scouts of America's Hawk Mountain Council. Troop 125 (established in the CHOR's 125th year) has been blending the ideals of the Scouting movement with the targeted clinical outcomes of our programs. The boys in our troop are expected to not only know the Scout Law ("A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent), but to practice it at all times while at CHOR. In addition, our Scouts have learned proper flag etiquette, and have worked on the Public Speaking, Railroad and Woodworking Badges. Many of our clients, when they hear of our Scout Troop, want to be a part of it. Because our troop size is limited (we may have only 12 boys in it a one time), there is always a waiting list to join. According to Dennis O'Brien, a CHOR Board Member and person who has had a long and close affiliation with the Hawk Mountain Council, "I am very pleased to see the troop continuing and give all of the credit for its success to CHOR staff members Jason Raines, our Troop Committee Chairperson and Carrie Hehn, our Troop Scoutmaster."
As always we are in need of uniforms, handbooks and other scouting materials. So, if you happen to have some laying around at home, don't just throw them out. Contact Carrie at 610.478.8266 ext. 447 or by email at chehn@childrenshomeofrdg.org. We all appreciate your help!
