Troop Notes
Youth Protection Training
It is required for ALL BSA registered volunteers, regardless of their position, and must be renewed every two years. It should also be taken by those parents going on Troop outings. The letter from Committee Chairman can be found under RESOURCES. Parent’s Orientation Handbook
The Parent’s Orientation Handbook is now available under RESOURCES. If you are a parent of a visiting Webelos, a Den Leader or Cubmaster, we urge you to review so you can learn all about Troop 139. In addition, all should review our Code-of Conduct and Cell-Phone Policies. New Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook
As of January 1, 2012 the process and workbook for an Eagle Service Project has changed. The new form is totally electronic and is a PDF that can be found under the FORMS section. Do not commence on working on an Eagle Project until you have discussed with your Scoutmaster. Turn In Your Used Merit Badge Books
Did you borrow a merit badge book from the Troop Library or perhaps bought a new one for camp this summer? If you are done with the badge, please donate it as keeping an inventory of books holds down cost for families! Let Us Know When You’re Email Address Changes!

Scoutmaster's Call
What is a Scout?
On behalf of Troop 139, I would like to welcome you to our Troop webpage! Troop 139 has an outstanding reputation in the Bucks County Council area and is dedicated to the ideals of scouting. In 2013, Troop 139 met the standards required to receive a Gold Level in Scouting’s Journey to Excellence. Through-out my years of scouting many people, friends and family have always asked what is a scout. I would like to leave with you the following words to help explain scouts and scouting: He enjoys a hike through the woods more than he does a walk over the city streets. He knows the stars by name and can find his way by them. When he walks through the woods, he sees things others do not see. He speaks softly and answers questions modestly. He knows a braggart but does not challenge him. His sense of honor is his only taskmaster, and his honor he guards as jealously as did the knights of old. He practices self-control, for he knows that men who master problems in the world must first master themselves. He never flinches in the face of danger. He must be alert to preserve his safety and that of others. He desires a strong body, an alert mind, and an unconquerable spirit. A Scout is one who will always "Be prepared". |
