"The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law."
Pick Your Summer Camp Programs
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.
Happy Easter To All!
Happy Easter to all from the scouts, leaders, and families of Troop 108! We’re not meeting again until after Spring Break, so enjoy your time off. But keep an eye on your email (and Twitter feeds!) for information about our upcoming camping trip and for other troop news.
Church Cleanup Service Project
On Saturday March 28, scouts and adults from Troop 108 spent a few hours cleaning up the OLV church parking lot in preparation for Palm Sunday and Easter. The many hands made for quick work, and in no time at the team had filled a few hundred bags with vegetative waste. Or at least that’s what one one of the new scouts said…
New Training Available On-Line
This is Scouting was added to the BSA's on-line Learning Center at www.olc.scouting.org and www.MyScouting.org . This is Scouting replaces New Leader Essentials as a required course for Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing volunteers to earn the "Trained" leader emblem.

2009/03/03 Weekend at Camp Lewis
Troop 108 spent a beautiful March weekend at Camp Lewis in Hibernia, NJ.
This was the first overnight for the new scouts in the Ram Patrol. Troop activities focused around the theme of athletic competition. According to eyewitnesses, SPL Andrew and ASPL Ryan led the scouts in games of soccer, flag football, noodle battles(?), and capture the flag. The troop also paid its respects at a small Civil War cemetery in the camp.

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

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