History

Troop 12 meets at Asbury United Methodist church on Monday nights from 7 PM to 8:30 PM. We meet all year round and deliver a program actively engaged with the great outdoors. We live in a wonderful part of the country with many opportunities to be engaged in activities in the community and the outdoors. We camp or hike at least once each month and spend one week during the summer at a Boy Scout camp. In the past several years we have:

  • canoe camped on the Delaware and Lehigh Rivers
  • hiked/camped in Gettysburg, Valley Forge and Saratoga Battlefields
  • camped and visited Fort Indiantown Gap
  • camped and visited Sandy Hook batteries

  • hiked/camped in New York City
  • spent 11 days hiking over 90 miles reaching elevations of 11-12,000 feet in the Sangrea Mountains at the Philmont Boy Scout high adventure ranch in New Mexico - numerous times !!
  • hiked parts of the Presidential range in the White Mountains of New Hampshire
  • camped in the snow at the North Valley District Snow Bound camporee
  • backpacked on the Appalachian Trail (to many times to count each one)

  • learned about and rode state of the art people movers (segways)

  • camped along the New Jersey seashore allowing for ample time to enjoy the sand and surf
  • camped at West Point Military Academy and Annapolis Naval Academy

  • AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE
  • We currently have 30 scouts in the troop and have a trained youth leadership team and a trained adult staff. Troop 12 has earned the Boy Scout National Quality Unit Award for the last 10 years.

    The Boy Scout program is designed to build desirable qualities of character, to train in the responsibilities of citizenship, and to develop personal fitness. Boy Scouting recognizes the importance of religious faith and duty. It is nonsectarian and leaves it to the scout, his family, and religious leaders to give instruction. Asbury and Troop 12 leaders will offer the “God and Life” program later this year for scouts who are in grades 9-12.

    You may contact our scoutmaster Brian Harman for more information.

    Troop 12 is sponsored by Asbury United Methodist Men. We appreciate the opportunity to use the Asbury facilities and perform service projects for the church. We recently helped collect the Christmas decorations during Dehanging of the Greens, helped clean-up after the Bazaar, raked leaves, and our Eagle Scout candidates have had projects that reconditioned rooms, expanded the playground area, and other projects for the community outside Asbury.

    If you are between the ages of 11 to 18 and adventure, learning, challenge, and responsibility interest you, contact someone from our troop or come visit us on a Monday night.
