The Weiser Scout House has provided a place where Weiser’s Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts can meet and display their history.
Built in the early 1940's, the house was originally built for the Girl Scouts; operating under the name of Girl Scouts of Weiser, Inc.
Shortly thereafter, The Boy Scout Troop was invited to utilize the building. Over the decades, the Boys have continued to call it home and have taken the responsibility of property management. In the 1990’s, at the request of the Girl Scouts of America. The title was transferred to a new entity, Little House, Inc., created by community members interested in the continual use for youth.
Troop 350, sponsored by the Weiser Lions Club, continues to be active. Since 1980 the Lions Club has paid the monthly utilities and assists with other Scouting costs. Recently, the Lions have sponsored a Girls Troop. They are committed to support Weiser’s youth.
As with all properties, periodic maintenance needs to happen. The trees planted in the front yard (planted by Girl Scouts in the 1970’s) are dangerously overgrown. Tom Anderson has received a bid to trim these trees; while he was able to obtain a great deal, the cost is still a challenge. The Scout House is committed to get the trees trimmed.
Boy Scouts in Weiser have a long history of quietly helping to improve our community. Traveling around town, the benefits of past Scout projects are everywhere.
While the Scout House account has some funds, it is need of assistance. Anyone that would be able to assist with any of the cost of the tree trimming, please call me at (208) 869-6890 or send any donation to Bob Barber, 1385 Pioneer Rd, Weiser, ID 83672.
Thank you.
