Ada Boy Scout Troop 124 was organized a century ago in early November of 1917. Carl Wilkerson took a photo of the current troop last week, marking the anniversary. Tom Lehman, who led the Troop for 17 years, has done some research on the Troop history and learned that Harry Erickson was the first Scoutmaster and the group first met at the Ada Presbyterian Church. The Scouts now meet at St. Mark's Lutheran Church. Jeff Kurtz is the current Scoutmaster. Don Spar has been the Cubmaster for the past 10 years.
