Boy Scouts of America Troop 914 was established in 1996 with six Scouts under the Pastoral leadership of Dr. Zan W. Holmes, Jr. and the Men of St. Luke “Community” United Methodist Church.
Today, under the leadership of Pastor Rev. Dr. Micheal L. Bowie, Jr., the troop has created over 60 Eagle Scouts in over decade.
“When we started this troop in 1996, we had 6 scouts, two tents, and one piece of outdoor cooking equipment. In 2003, we created our two first Eagle Scouts. In 2014, Troop 914 had over 60 Eagle Scouts and 10 Eagle Scouts Palms."

Of the millions of youth that join scouting, only about 4 out of 100 Scouts of all Scouts become Eagle Scouts. Only one in ten of Eagle Scouts ever earn an Eagle Palm.
