About Troop 1
BSA Troop 1 of Logan, Utah is widely known as the oldest Boy Scouting unit west of the
Mississippi River. We were founded in June 1910, four months after the Boy Scouts of America
was formed on February 8, 1910. Troop 1 meets every Wednesday evening (7:00-8:30 pm) at
First Presbyterian Church of Logan, Utah (12 South, 200 West, Logan, Utah).
From 1906 through 1910, a boys club known as Knights of King Arthur met at St. John’s
Episcopal Church in Logan. In February 1910, Scouting came to America and four months later
in June of 1910, Troop #1 was chartered with 26 boys in the original troop. Reverend
Paul Jones became the first Scoutmaster after hearing a talk by Lord Robert Baden-Powel, the
founder of Scouting.
Over the years, Troop #1 has had 6 sponsoring organizations. They are:
1910-1924: St. John’s Episcopal Church, Logan, Utah
1924-1927: Utah Agricultural College (in 1957 became U.S.U.)
1927-1947: First Presbyterian Church, Logan, Utah
1947-1949: Logan City Fire Department
1949-1978: Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (Logan Elks Lodge)
1978-Present: Logan Lions Club
