The town’s first Boy Scout troop was organized in 1912. Early activities were held at Narrow Passage and Luray. Over the decades the boys and their leaders would attend countless hikes, camps, regional assemblies, and special events like World Fairs and National Scout Jamborees. The troops have been sponsored by various organizations including the Methodist Church, the American Legion, and the Lions Club. Their efforts to support this organization have helped the various scout troops educate many local youth, including many that became prominent citizens and community leaders.
