The History of Troop 480
Click here to contribute additional information, photos, etc.

 BSA Troop 480 has been affiliated with The Church of St. Paul, Carbon, PA, since the 1960’s.  

We are proud of our various awards that have been received for example: yearly quality unit.   Over the years the troop has been involved with community service, such as: Scouting for Food, tire cleanups, the PA Cleanways Dept., and annual participation in the Westmoreland County Memorial Park Memorial Day Service, including placing approximately 2,500 American flags on our war veteran's gravesites at the cemetery.

We are proud all young men who earn the rank of Eagle Scout, in particular those who have earned this rank as members of Troop 480.    They have become outstanding citizens in our communities, going on to serve as  firemen, paramedics, military personnel and college graduates who obtain employment in various fields.

The program for Troop 480 is focused on providing regular meetings, monthly activities, and recognition for the scouts as they progress through the program.   Recent activities have included Rickett's Glenn State Park, Patriot Days in Reading, PA, submarine camping in Pittsburgh, and a First Aid meet in Greensburg.   Upcoming activities include our annual summer camp at Camp Conestoga, the Air Force Museum in Dayton, and Gettysburg..

Thanks to our leaders who make the program possible.

Troop 480 is proud to play a role in the lives of our future leaders.
