100 Years of Troop One celebration JUNE 11, 2016 1 Welcome to “100 of One” A Century of Skills, Service, and Leadership Welcome to Troop One’s centennial celebration, “100 of ONE.” For a century, Sacramento boys and their families have learned new skills, delivered community service, and accepted the challenges of leadership in Troop One. Helping boys become young men is rarely easy, but Scouting teaches those skills, encourages that service, and produces new leaders. Troop One’s 93 current Scouts and their families welcome you to this centennial celebration so that we can remember where we have traveled and then commit ourselves to the next 100 years. Thank you for joining us this evening as we acknowledge those who went before us and get ready for the challenges ahead!

That spy was Robert Baden-Powell (1857-1941) Scouting’s founder. In the 19th Century, while on military duty in Africa, “B-P” travelled through enemy territory, posing as an eccentric butterfly collector. He concealed details of military forts in his field drawings of butterfly wings. This reconnaissance work, or “scouting,” led to his desire to introduce British boys to outdoor skills. B-P founded the Brownsea Island Scout Camp in 1907, starting the Scouting movement. Later decorated for his military service and Scouting contributions, we know him as Lord Baden-Powell. In 1909, a chance encounter between American businessman W.D. Boyce and the “Unknown Scout” on a foggy London street prompted Boyce to learn more about Scouting from Baden-Powell. In 1910, Boyce formed the Boy Scouts of America which eventually consolidated with other youth movements. According to a history of Troop One written for its 90th anniversary, Scouting first arrived in Sacramento in 1910 when two groups called “companies” were formed with the commitment “to the development of all that is best in the boy.” These early Scouts promised “not to lie, steal, curse, drink, smoke or do anything which my father or mother would in any way object.” Sacramento’s Boy Scout companies continued for another six years. In 1916, a few adults, along with 24 boys from the First Methodist Episcopal Church Sunday school classes, decided to form Troop One which claims that it is the oldest continuing Boy Scout troop west of the Mississippi River. The first Scoutmaster was W. George Spilman. 4 Equipment Figure it out for yourself, my lad, You’ve all that the greatest of men have had, Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes, And a brain to use if you would be wise. With this equipment they all began, So start for the top and say “I can.” Look them over, the wise and great, They take their food from a common plate And similar knives and forks they use, With similar laces they tie their shoes, The world considers them brave and smart. But you’ve all they had when they made their start. You can triumph and come to skill, You can be great if only you will, You’re well equipped for what fight you choose, You have legs and arms and a brain to use, And the man who has risen, great deeds to do Began his life with no more than you. You are the handicap you must face, You are the one who must choose your place, You must say where you want to go. How much you will study the truth to know, God has equipped you for life, But He Lets you decide what you want to be. Courage must come from the soul within, The man must furnish the will to win, So figure it out for yourself, my lad, You were born with all that the great have had, With your equipment they all began. Get hold of yourself, and say: “I can.” Edgar A. Guest 5 Troop one Adult Leadership SCOUTMASTERS: W. George Spilman Robert O. McCurry Edwin A. Lassner Jim Coan Thomas John Bennetts Paul M.
