The Boy Scouts of America was chartered by Congress in 1916.
The first known Boy Scout troop in Acadiana was organized by the First Methodist Church in New Iberia in September 1913, with the Rev. Albert L. Lutz as scoutmaster.
At that early date, there was no unit charter. Rather, the scoutmaster received his commission directly from the national office in New York. Known as Troop 2 of New Iberia, the group operated until it was dropped in September 1917.
Scouts who were members of this first troop included Beverly Hebert, Guy Hebert, J.W. Taylor Jr., George Moulk, Dudley Ashley, Earl Nicholdson, R.L. Riggs and John Davis.
According to longtime Council Executive B.A. Lang: “The troop that really spread the scouting movement in our Evangeline Country was the second troop to be organized within the council territory by the First Methodist Church of Franklin, with Robert E. Brumby as Scoutmaster in 1914.
“This troop was extremely active for seven consecutive years and, through its many activities, encouraged and helped men in a number of communities to organize additional scout troops.
