After the war, Oreland and the surrounding communities became increasingly developed. Oreland Troop #2 was started at St. Phillip in the Field Church on Oreland Mill Road. Both troops saw a tremendous rise in attendance as Oreland became a more populous community. In 1954, the troop started to hold an annual banquet, Scout Sunday, started a marching band, and began selling Christmas trees along with Troop #2. The spruce tree depicted in the troop's patch was derived from the annual sale of these trees by the troops. <ref>"Oreland Boy Scouts to Sell Christmass Trees", <i>Springfield Sun</i>, November 18, 1955.</ref> | After the war, Oreland and the surrounding communities became increasingly developed.

In 1967, scouts from Troop 2 while visiting a Canadian scout camp, met a group of scouts from the Toronto area. They decided to setup a program where area US troops would visit Canada and vice versa, every four years. The first exchange happening with US scouts hosting Canadian scouts at Militia Hill, Pennsylvania in April, 1967. <ref>http://olympia-scope.org/aboutus.aspx</ref> This program would eventually be SCOPE / OLYMPIA, a US / Canadian scout exchange program that brings together over 800 scouts and scouters for an "extended weekend of fun and friendship".<ref>http://www.scopecamp.com/What%20is%20SCOPE.htm</ref> | In 1967, scouts from Troop 2 while visiting a Canadian scout camp, met a group of scouts from the Toronto area.
