Subject: Troop 157

I was in Troop 157 from 1968 thru 1972. We used to meet at Cong. Beth Tikvah on Wednesday nights I believe, and then PS 115. As I recall, this troop was the oldest, if not one of the oldest troops in the borough. Does anybody recall being a member?

I was a member of 157 in the 70's as well. I was a cub at pack 281 which also met at 115 Friday nights. I was there for a few years, I was even the bugeler. I remember many a fun time, like the camping at Alpine scout camp. We went one summer to Ten Mile river scout camp and stayed at Aquehonga. Also had a Campore at Seaview park. There were thousands of tents and scouts from all over the area. Went once on a kinkoree, where we walked over the George Washington bridge, over the Palisades and then to Alpine, all on foot. That was a great trip.

As I remember the Scout leader was Harvey Goldstien at the time.

I was a member of Troop 157 in the early to mid 70's when Harvey Goldstein was scout master. We used to meet in the gym of PS115(next to the cafeteria)every Friday. Harvey was later replaced by Mr. Silverman. I believe it was approx. 1973 when we spent the whole summer in boy scout camp where we had to pitch, and live out of, our own tents. We would pick up our food from the cantene and bring it back to the campsite and cook it in this old,black oven. My older brother, Simon, was assistant scoutmaster by then, and the troop included Jack Levy, Todd(and his brother), Allan Margolies, Manny Collazo, David Becker, Harvey's son Cory(?), Mike, Bret, etc. We went to the movies and saw James Bond's "Live and Let Die". Fun times!! Specially the weekly patrol meetings where we would learn CPR and decide on menus for the upcoming weekend hikes upstate...freezing cold , open "Lean Twos", fires started with flint, "policing the area" for litter, and trying to get as many of those brass metal awards for our belt. Were we ever that young?
