History
Scouts BSA Troop 924 is one of the oldest and most respected troops in Evanston. The Troop was chartered in 1926 and has been meeting at Northminster Presbyterian Church ever since. Through the years, many of the Troop’s members and leaders have also been members of Northminster, which has created a strong relationship between the Church and the Troop.
By maintaining a high level of training and participation, Troop 924 has consistently had outstanding youth and adult leadership; its Scouts and Scouters have risen to become leaders in our schools and our community. We are proud that during nearly 90 years of operation, nearly 100 youths have earned the Eagle Scout rank, Scouting’s highest rank.
While advancement is an important part of the Troop program, it is not our primary emphasis. Scouting in Troop 924 offers youths the opportunity to become leaders. Scouting must be FUN. In Troop 924, every effort is made to make it so.
Leadership
Our current Scoutmaster is Jerry Wright. The Scoutmaster is supported by a Troop Committee, led by Tisha Martin, in which all parents are encouraged to participate. Only through participation by parents in a variety of roles (treasurer, event planners, fundraising organizers, and others) can the Troop give the Scouts a full experience of Scouting.
Troop 924 belongs to the Potawatomi District within the Northeast Illinois Council (NEIC). Scouts and parents manage troop participation and advancement in Scoutbook.
