Our Troop

Joining Troop 64

Our goal is to use our experience to provide the youth of the community with a Scouting experience that will enable them to do their best in life. Duncannon Troop 64 has been registered consistently for over 95 years in Duncannon producing more than 115+ Eagle Scouts. That's a lot of experience!

You are welcome to join any of our meetings as a guest simply by showing up and introducing yourself. We have regular scheduled meetings every Tuesday throughout the year. October thru April we meet at the Otterbein United Methodist Church from 6:30 - 8:00 in the Fellowship Hall. May thru September we meet at the Pavilion at the Centennial grounds from 6:00 to 8:30.

Request more information via email from this site or give our Scoutmaster Thom Hammaker a call @717-645-1286 or e-mail at Scoutmaster@duncannontroop64.org

Our Sponsoring Organization

 Duncannon Troop 64 had been sponsored consistently for 95 years (1927 - 2022) by the Otterbein United Methodist Church  (327 Newport Rd, Duncannon PA 17020). Troop 64 is very grateful for their devotion to our community youth. 

In 2023, our chartering sponsor relationship shifted to the James G Zimmerman American Legion Post 340. We're excited to partner with Post 340 to bring together our  aligned agendas of community service and developing the next generation of leaders through the positive ideals of scouting.

Our Organizational Identity

The New Birth of Freedom Council is serving six counties in South-Central Pennsylvania.  The council was formed by a merger of York-Adams Area Council and Keystone Area Council on April 1, 2010.

The New Birth of Freedom Council, headquartered in Mechanicsburg, PA, serves more than 11,400 young people in six counties (Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Perry and York) in south-central Pennsylvania.

The council is the fourth-largest council in Pennsylvania (behind Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Allentown) and is led by over 5,500 volunteers. More than 245 community organizations, representing educational, religious, non-profit, civic, and business organizations join in partnership with the New Birth of Freedom Council by chartering 450 Scouting units (packs, troops, teams, crews, posts and groups).

Conococheague District is one of the six Districts that make up our council. This District is comprised of Franklin and Perry Counties.  The name refers to a creek in Franklin County, Pennsylvania and a mountain of the same name in Perry County, Pennsylvania. The mountain is a significant portion of the Tuscarora State Forest, and the creek is a tributary of the Potomac River. The word Conococheague is translated from the Delaware Indian spoken language to mean water of many turns. The area along the creek was home to the first settlement in the area which was referred to as the Conococheague Region and eventually developed into present-day Chambersburg.

The New Birth of Freedom Council owns four council camps, Camp Conewago, Camp Tuckahoe, Hidden Valley Scout Reservation, and Wizard Ranch.

Duncannon Troop 64 is one of twenty-seven troops within the Conococheague District.

Our Flag

Duncannon Troop 64 has a proud history of displaying the United States flag in our community. The Troop has maintained a constant flying flag since 1927. The original location was on Peters Mountain with a 3x5 flag in a tree, which was upgraded to a much larger flag through Chris Messner Eagle project. Since then, the Troop installed an 80’ pole on the Mitchell farm and continues to maintain a 20’x30’ flag there, which is enjoyed by passing motorists on both 22/322 and 11/15. Please see the Troop History page for more  info of our proud flag flying history.

With the generous help of sponsors and the community, we are able to continue to change the flag on the Mitchell farm as needed and maintain lighting on the site. A special thank you to all the current and past sponsors, which includes the Duncannon Sportsmen's Association and the Duncannon Lions Club who provide an annual donation to help defray maintenance costs. An additional thank you to the Duncannon American Legion Post 340 that sponsors the cost for the electric service to the site.
