Troop 2 was very active on the homefront during the Second World War. Members of the troop performed many civic duties for the community, participating in scrap drives, public service projects, and several members of our troop served in the armed forces during the war.
The war service stripe was awarded to 34 Troop 2 Weymouth Boy Scouts, and the General Eisenhower Medal was awarded to Troop 2 Weymouth who individually collected over a half a ton of waste paper.
An example of the scrap metal gathered by the troop, and the Eisenhower medal received for efforts throughout the war are shown below.
After the war ended, the troop collected unused Boy Scout uniforms to be sent to the war zones in the Philippines and Europe as Scouting returned to those devastated regions.
