Scout in the Spotlight- Den Chief Jimmy

When a very young quiet Jimmy came to Troop 334 our leadership had some concerns if they would be the best choice for him. After a few conversations it was decided that not only did they think they could lead Jimmy, they wanted to lead him.  He may be quiet but he makes a big impact on everyone. In the few short years with the Troop Jimmy has taken on the role of Scribe, Cub Den Chief, and general “yes, ...

Scout In the Spotlight- Scoutmaster Milestone

David Craighead began his personal scouting journey on Sept 1, 1974 when he joined Troop 334 along with his brothers. He completed his Order of the Arrow Ordeal in 1978 and made the gradual and ultimate rise to Eagle Scout in 1981. He accepted the calling of Scoutmaster of Troop 334 on March 1, 1997.

Scout in the Spotlight-Snyder Brothers

George      Norman  Roxborough is a tight knit community. Many of the people who grow here, stay here or return here. Even more of them give back in some way to this little community in a great big city. We may not always love each but we ALWAYS take care of each other. We are the city of brotherly love. From this city we have an amazing history of two brothers. In 1944 local twin brothers, George and Norman Snyder, ...

334 Proud

I am an active Pack and Troop 334 Committee member and I am also a Girl Scout Leader. While at Daniel Boone Camp (a co-ed camping weekend), that 334 was not on, I started up a conversation with the leaders of a Boy Scout Troop from the far northeast. These two young men had just jumped in to help a newly handicapped leader. They talked about dreams they had for their troop and what they hoped they could offer the ...

A Scout is Reverent and Loyal

When I a young scout my grandfather passed away. I was really close to him. The night of the viewing the funeral home doors opened and all of Troop 334 reverently marched in. Each scout and leader in full uniform, they processed to our family, shared their sympathies and courteously marched back out. Their loyalty and respect was so helpful at that time, they gave me the strength to make it through that heartbreak. Those moments will forever remain with ...

Friends for Life

I was in Pack and Troop 334 my entire scouting life. I became friends with many of my fellow scouts. Treasure Island was our "go to camp". One of my fellow 334 scouts who was a few years older than me was on staff at the camp. I got a call that another scout from a different troop who was working there had to leave early and needed coverage. I jumped on the chance to be a part of TI ...
