On Aug. 26, Boy Scouts of America Troop 2 celebrated its 107th year of continuous operation with the unveiling of a new sign for their historic Scout Hut.
Troop 2, chartered in 1918 and sponsored by the Los Gatos Rotary Club, is the oldest troop in the area.
Scoutmaster Patrick Freeburger expressed the troop’s gratitude to Kelly and Kyle Petrich for donating the wood plank, and to John Reynolds, a local retired engineer, who handcrafted the sign.
Vice Mayor Rob Moore attended the event and spoke about the importance of scouting in building leadership, character and community service among youth in Los Gatos.
Troop 2 meets every Tuesday from 7-8:30pm behind Los Gatos High School.
Boys ages 11 to 17 are welcome to visit and learn more about Scouting. BeAScout.org.
