| Boy Scout Troop 2 |
 |
Of the 7,375 registered troops in the US at the close of 1915, more than 4,000 were chartered to protestant churches and 1,645 Scout masters were ministers.
Troop 2 was first organized in the City of Alameda in April 1917 as the second troop in the city. Sponsored by the First Presbyterian Church of Alameda Troop 2 has had 93 years of continuous registration making it the oldest troop in Alameda. The troop has had 1,750 registered scouts with many Eagle and Silver Beaver awards.
Founding Scoutmaster, Edward Albert, became the first Scout Executive in Alameda. He was followed by another Troop 2 Scoutmaster, Kenneth Cunningham, in 1920.
Troop 2, still very active today, meets in "the Scout room" at First Presbyterian. In recent years the troop has received many awards, including the Quality Unit Award, first place in the Camporee competition, and Highest Camper Award at summer camp.
