Troop 29's History
A Long and Honored Tradition
Few troops survive longer than 25 years and get to wear a special year "bar" above the troop number on their uniform. Troop 29 is honored to wear a 55 year bar signifying 55 years of continuous existence.
As a point of fact if it hadn't been for two breaks in Troop 29's history, one in 1920, and one in 1946, we might even be able to claim a longer heritage since the troop was originally founded in 1919!
We're still trying to determine exactly what happened to cause these two breaks in time, but we assume that it was related to WWI and WWII since the chronology is about right.
