Troop 108 will be convening a Court of Honor on Friday March 18. All scouts, parents, leaders, and committee members should make plans to join us as we welcome several new scouts to our ranks, and recognize the achievements of the past three months.

And parents, please check your email for an important message from Mrs. Marzella!

The odds of a mother having quadruplets are about one in 800,000.
The odds of a Boy Scout becoming an Eagle are about one in 50.
Eileen Goodspeed's son, William, is both.
So is her son, Patrick.
Son John, as well.
And don't forget about David. Yep, David, too.

The current version of the Troop 108 Guidebook is now available. Log in then go to the Documents section to download it.

All scouts going to summer camp will have an opportunity to register real time for their merit badges and other programs (Kayaking BSA / Camp Kayaking / Brownsea etc.) at the meeting on Tuesday. Adults going should also be finalized and they too may wish to enroll in programs open to them.

Congratulations and welcome to Troop 108’s newest scouts! Six Webelos scouts crossed over from Pack 108 this month.

The Trail to Eagle begins with a single step. All of you have taken the first step on that trail when you joined the Troop. The path ahead is filled with excitement and challenges. It will be hard at times, but the Troop will be there to support you and guide you on your journey.

We welcome you to our Troop and hope that your journey is filled with fun, excitement and much success!

Summer 2008 was very productive for the scouts of Troop 108. During a single week of summer camp, 14 scouts completed 58 merit badges and partially completed another eight badges. But that's not all! Five scouts completed the requirements for their next rank, and eight scouts earned their Totin' Chip, which grants them the right to carry and use woods tools. Troop 108 scouts were busy outside of summer camp too: five scouts earned a total of eleven merit badges and three other scouts advanced to their next rank. That's a total of 69 merit badges and eight rank advancements completed over the summer -- an accomplishment you can all be very proud of! Special thanks to the senior scouts and adult scouters that worked with these scouts to make it possible.
