SCOUTING
The officers and members of American Legion Post 223 would like to thank the many scouts from Troop 224 and other local Scout Troops who have decided to perform their Eagle Scout Projects for the benefit of Post 223. We appreciate your patriotism and continued support to the American Legion Family!
TROOP 224
Support for the Boy Scout movement came at The American Legion's first National Convention in 1919. Today, there are more than 2,500 Boy Scout units sponsored by Legion Posts throughout the country.
Supporting Boy Scout activities is natural for Legionnaires, who bring their service-learned skills and experiences as Veterans to bear to help build character and positive traits in "Young America." Few other Post activities generate more goodwill from the community.
