About Troop 138

At Troop 138, we’re serious about Scouting. If you are looking for a Troop that is:

  • committed to advancement
  • using the Patrol Method
  • small enough in size that everyone counts
  • organized and motivated
  • active year-round
  • developing and training its leadership

...then 138 is the Troop for you. You do not have to be a current, or former, Cub Scout to join Boy Scouts. You just need the desire for adventure.

The fact that we have taken first place in the 2006 District Klondike Derby and recently first place in the District First-Aid Meet attests to the quality leadership at Troop 138. Our Scouts are learning important life skills.

We attend Summer Camp at Seven Ranges Scout Reservation in Ohio, which is nationally recognized for its Pipestone Honors Program and its dedicated staff.

Our Scouts plan, organize and manage most of the Troop activities and trips. This gives each Scout responsibilities and opportunities... which is what sets us apart from most area troops.

Activities for 2008 includes:

  • horseback riding (October)
  • Ski trip (February)
  • skeet/shooting (September)
  • GPS/Orienteering (November)
  • canoeing/fishing (June)
  • whitewater rafting/biking (July)
  • spring trip (previous trips have included Philadelphia, Michigan, Virginia area)
  • monthly cabin or tent camping

Troop 138 has a large assortment of Troop equipment and a large trailer, making trip traveling easier.

We meet regularly on Wednesdays at 7 to 8:30 pm. You are invited to meet us any time. Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 1719 Mt. Royal Blvd., Glenshaw, PA 15116
Contact Scoutmaster Glenn Smith at 412-486-1253 for more information.

Troop Testimonial:

Glenn,
Thank you so much! Please tell the troop that I was so impressed by their interest and their willingness to listen and learn. Your troop is a perfect example of what a boy scout troop should be!

As we enter 2008, look for us for announcements of the building of the education and visitors center! God willing, the earth will move in the Spring.

Take care. Thank you for all you do for these boys! I know they must appreciate such a wonderful leader.

Sincerely,
Lori Arnold
Quecreek Mine Rescue Foundation
