Dillon Boy Scout Troop Founding and Reorganization History
The Dillon Boy Scout movement began in 1910, with Troop 1 formed in 1925 under R A Reeser and later led by Fayne Alkire and George Farrell. Troop 14 joined the Butte area council, with camps at Argenta Caves, Elkhorn, and a 1929 Yellowstone trip. A 1931 court crowned Dillon’s first Eagle Scouts, with a heroism certificate awarded for river rescue. By 1945 Camporal brought 500 Scouts to Dillon. Troop 14 reorganized in January under George Featherly, now 32 active boys.
