Troop No. 405 was under leadership of James McKalip four years, 1932 to September, 1936, then for a short time under Scoutmaster John Schuler, from 1936 to September, 1937 under Joseph Rider, and at present time under Orlo Lemmer, Scoutmaster, George McCreary, Assistant Scoutmaster, Robert Bennett, Assistant Scoutmaster. The Troop Committee is: James McKalip, Chairman; J. L. Skeehan and Clarence Wolz. In 1936 another room for use of Scouts was given by the School Directors and furnished by Scout Council. The Girl Scouts also use this room. In April, 1934, the first Cub Pack in Beaver County, (an organization of boys 9 to 12 years old) was organized in Baden under Robert Bennett as Packmaster. This pack had 35 boys registered. Since 1935 H. C. Machesney has been Scout Commissioner for the district. Each year Baden has contributed to the solicitation for funds to maintain the County Organization and a portion of the money contributed each year has been allotted for local purposes.
THE GIRL SCOUTS OF BADENFriendliness and helpfulness are Girl Scout ways and a Girl Scout tries to be prepared to do her share in her home and in her community. The first regular meeting of Troop No. 1 of the Baden Girls Scouts met Wednesday, February 10, 1937, in the basement of the school house, thirty-two girls were present. Mrs. Charles Harris was appointed temporary captain, and acted in that capacity until the registration of the leaders in April, when Miss Ruth Whitmore assumed the responsibilities. Miss Whitmore had as her lieutenants Misses Jane Morrison, Virginia Goerman and Mrs. Martha Young McDanel. From February until June the girls spent their time organizing the troop and passing Tenderfoot tests. Their first money-making project was undertaken during the Easter season of that year when they sold Easter eggs. The first year was climaxed by an Investiture Ceremony held June 24, 1937, in the Baden Lutheran Church. At this time 24 girls became the first registered Girl Scouts of Baden. Those Scouts were: Sarah Barkley, Mary Catherine Brown, Jane Dillon, Jean Dumeyer, Leila Farquahr, Elizabeth Furness, Mary Lou Gaughan, Margaret Anne Gould, Dolores Gray, Josephine Hervoich, Alice Hicks, Marjorie Hulet, Phyllis Hulet, Mary Virginia McCreary, Marian Macombs, Marcia
