2009/06/26 Whitewater Rafting on the Lehigh
In June, Troop 108 went on its annual white water rafting trip. Our favorite spot is the challenges of the Lehigh River in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Hickory Run State Park was our home base for the weekend. The scouts and adults had a blast on the river, which provided an ideal venue for lots of antics and memories. It was a wet and wild experience!
2009/06/14 Flag Day
Each year, Troop 108 hosts an annual flag retirement ceremony and Court of Honor on Flag Day, June 14. This year was no exception. Flag retirement is a necessary service - flags that are faded, torn, or no longer fit for service need to be properly retired in a fire. At the Court of Honor, many scouts and adults were recognized for their advancements and service. Army veteran and Wayne police officer Chris Carbone and Wayne Councilman Joe Scuralli were among the distinguished guest speakers.
Scouting For Food
For this year’s Scouting for Food campaign, Scouts from Troop 108 collected 65 bags of groceries for the Strengthen Our Sisters Center. The shelter helps victims of domestic violence, and currently houses about 150 women and children.
Great job guys!

2009/05/15 Beach Jam!
Scouts and adults from Troop 108 had a great weekend at Beach Jam in Wildwood. Eight scouts earned their Oceanography merit badge, and all enjoyed Unlimited rides, buffet breakfast and dinner, and camping on the beach – what more could you want? Oh right, the weather. It was a little foggy.
