OUR STORIED HISTORY...

1924: A group consisting of both Youth & Adults met for the first time at Ottawa Street Methodist Church (corner of Ottawa & Moy), who was registered as the initial Sponsor/Partner. This was the beginning of the 13th Windsor, Charter #501 with The Boys Scouts of Canada.
1927: Windsor-Walkerville Technical School became the registered Sponsor/Partner.
1932: The Scout Troop moved to Christ Lutheran Church Mission on St. Luke Road. This was a creation of
St. George's Anglican Church (Albert Road, north of Seminole), who was registered as the Sponsor/Partner.
1935: A group of citizens is registered as the Sponsor/Partner.
1936: The meetings were now held in a vacant store on Drouillard Road.
1939: The Group moves to Trinity United Church on Tourangeau.
1940: Wolf Cub Pack opens.
1943: Trinity United Church is registered as the Sponsor/Parter.
1950: Rover Crew Opens.
1967: Venturer Crew opens.
1976: Beaver Colony opens.
1982: The Group celebrated their 50th anniversary (there were no records found at the time to support the inception of the first eight years. A 50th Commemorative Crest was designed to celebrate this milestone.
1999: A contest was held to design a new crest to replace the simple number design that was being phased out by Boys Scouts of Canada. The winning crest design was proudly worn by all members of the 13th. Troop Scouter Paul Ullman was the designer. He played upon the unlucky number 13 to form a lucky horseshoe.
2004: The Group crest was reworked to reflect the year the Group was established.
2007: Due to declining membership, Trinity United Church clustered with Roseland United Church.
2009: An anniversary crest was created to be worn by only registered members of this year.
2010: February 1st, Trinity United Church was sold. The Group finds a new home with the A.K.O. Fraternity, located at the corner of Bernard & Alice. In April, the Group celebrated 85 years of Service to the Community (records have been found to validate this). In September, the A.K.O. Fraternity becomes the new Sponsor/Partner.

SCOUTS CANADA MISSION

To contribute to the education of young people,
through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law,
to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled
as individuals and play a constructive role in society.

What Scouting Means To ME

"Scouting is the perfect medium for building character in today's youth.
Scouting allows a young man to develop self-confidence, while teaching him
resepct for others, and himself. No other venue allows a young man to challenge
himself in ways that allow his development to prosper positively.

Carl Goodwin, 13th. Group Administrator/Secretary.
