The Troop Van has been replaced several times over the years but in recent decades there has always been a van to go along with Paoli 1. The Van can hold 15 passengers and is thus ideal for transporting large numbers of scouts too and from troop events. The van is also equipped with a large roof rack to carry the equipment and gear that may be required for the trip at hand.

The Troop Van is the center piece of nearly every single Paoli 1 event. Whether it's a short drive to Valley Forge Park, the annual trip to Camp Horseshoe, or a lengthy summer trip up to Canada or down to Tennessee, scouts will likely be getting there in the Van. The Van is not just a means for transportation to and from trips. As they say, getting there is half the fun. The stories and jokes told in the Van are sometimes just as memorable as the actual event that follows.

Troop Trailers Edit

The Van is also frequently used to pull one of the many Paoli 1 trailers when needed

Canoe Trailers -The Troop has two canoe trailers which are typically used to transport the Troop's fleet of boats. This includes kayaks and torrents as well as canoes. The six-boat trailer (As seen to the right) is used most frequently but the troop also has a seven-boat trailer that is brought out when additional boats are needed.

Boats, and sometimes lumber, are loaded onto the crossbeams while rafts, PFDs, paddles, and other gear is stored on the bottom level of the trailer.

Covered Trailer - The Troop's covered trailer typically only sees use in bigger events such as summer trips and Horseshoe when extra room is needed or when equipment is too large to be transported elsewhere.

Landscaping Trailer - This trailer sees more action with Eagle Projects and work days than anything else. It is ideal for loading building supplies, moving large amounts of logs, or removing debris from a work project. Of note, however, the landscape trailer is used to transport the large number of footlockers to and from Camp Horseshoe each summer.
