About Troop PA-1207<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trail Life Troop PA-1207 came to be from a group of parents looking for a Boy Scout alternative for their sons.  Phil LaMay and Matt Shipley took the lead in organizing and chartering the troop through Trail Life USA<\/a>.  Instrumental to the troop\u2019s success was Jared Snyder, Troopmaster of PA-0412.  His partnership and guidance allowed the PA-1207 to get organized and hold a kickoff event in July of 2021 with 50 \u2013 80 boys attending.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fall of 2021, PA-1207 started regular, weekly meetings with 50 registered Trailmen.  PA-1207 is a ministry of Grace RPC, in Gibsonia, with RPC North Hills, in Ross, as a partner in that ministry. Most troop meetings are held at Grace, while special events are held at North Hills.  Aside from the weekly meetings, PA-1207 youth leadership plan monthly outings like camp outs, hikes, and service projects, and the Woodlands Program (ages 5 to 10) go on monthly Hit-the-Trail events.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of spring of 2023, PA-1207 has 70 active Trailmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
