Reunion 100th
100th Reunion Celebration of Troop 3 - August 26, 2017
It had been 100 years since a quiet and unassuming young man, Don B. Lowe, founded Boy Scout Troop 3 at the First Presbyterian Church on March 29, 1917. After all these years, working on a foundation laid by Scoutmaster Lowe and his three successors, Troop 3 is still going strong. Troop 3 is the second-oldest continually operating Boy Scout Troop in West Virginia, and the oldest in Parkersburg.
For perspective, Troop 3 has been in continuous operation longer than 99.5% of the estimated 52,000 Boy Scout Troops in the United States.
Reunions are always full of nostalgia. For those of us who were in Troop 3, it is difficult to separate our Scouting experience from who we are today. Troop 3 gave each of us the stepping-stones to building a good, productive life.
We sincerely look forward to reconvening at our 100th Anniversary Reunion on Saturday, August 26, 2017, to once again renew old friendships and share the memories and fun we all enjoyed in years gone by!
