Troop 112 History
Mt. Pleasant Boy Scout Troop 112 was officially charted in 1958 through the Alexandria First Presbyterian Church of Mt. Pleasant (as it is today). Our first Scoutmaster was Mr. Rockafellow with eight original youth members. The address of the troop has frequently changed over the five decades of service as the local post offices were moved, consolidated, or closed. The troop’s address has been Mt. Pleasant, Milford, Pittstown, and also known simply as the “Alexandria Township Troop 112”.
Troop 112 celebrated its’ 50th anniversary in 2008. We are a volunteer service organization with Boy Scouts of America trained adult leaders, with 30 plus active scouts, and over 30 Eagle Scouts through the program.
Today’s active troop members are still from all corners of Alexandria Township and still enjoy the rural countryside and camping from Brunner’s pond, up and down the Delaware River, and north to the Appalachian mountains.
