2018's Awesome Trip!
Baxter State Park
Mt. Katahdin.

For 2018- Troop 208 went to the Baxter State Park- Home of Mt. Katahdin. It was another awesome trip! Scouts (and some returning former Scouts) hiked the park- including the Northern Terminus of the AT- Mt. Katahdin. After a long, strenuous climb- we were greeted with beautiful views and a sense of accomplishment.
Kayaking, swimming, fishing and wildlife viewing rounded out the week. Photo's are on "Past Events" page.

2020 - Troop disbanded!

It is with a heavy heart, we announce the disbanding of Troop 208.
After serious consideration, the leaders have decided that due to the falling numbers of boys wanting to join scouting, and the ever changing National and Council policies, to accomdate the most current politically correct trend, we can no longer keep the troop active and thriving.
We appreciate the boys (now young men), families and friends, that have supported the Troops goals and scouts for almost 70 years. We will continue to cultivate the friendships that have been forged at the troop.
We pray that someday, Scouting returns to its founding members vision and goals- to produce men of good moral character, anchored in their belief of their God, love of their country and willingness to serve their community at large.
Remember- Be Prepared- and Do A Good Turn Daily. Words to live by everyday.

Merit Badges

Merit badges are awards earned by youth members of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), based on activities within an area of study by completing a list of periodically updated requirements. The purpose of the merit badge program is to allow Scouts to examine subjects to determine if they would like to further pursue them as a career or a vocation.
