As we leave 2012, the 100th anniversary of the Eagle Scout badge, it is only fitting that we post a link to the results of a study done by Baylor University on the impact that Eagle Scouts have in our society. It is an excellent indicator of the values and character that scouting instills in it’s members.
What a privilege to help Shriners Hospitals at the Shrine Bowl.
Our local Civil Air Patrol squadron will be putting hundreds of wreaths on the graves of veterans in Fort Mill’s Unity Cemetary (right behind the scout hut). They have asked that any scout that would like to participate to show up at the church at 8:30am to get ready for the wreath’s police escort arrival at 8:45am.
Following the placing of the wreaths, scouts may come to the VFW on Banks street for a breakfast (bring money) before going to the Veterans Memorial Park at the bottom of Main Street for the dedication of wreaths at the memorial.
Scouts may do as much or as little of this as they wish, but time spent helping will be able to be applied as service hours toward rank. Be sure to be in full Offical Uniform for this event.
We have created a new “Forms” page on the site to house the most recent versions of the “Troop 108 Code of Conduct” document, the “Youth Leadership Job Descriptions and Responsibilities” document and the master template used by the PLC for planning troop meetings.

Andrew White’s Eagle Scout project, originally scheduled to begin this Saturday, December 8, 2012, has been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.

Catawba Masonic Lodge will be a drop-off location for Toys For Tots during the Fort Mill Christmas Parade. Two to four scouts are needed to assist people dropping off toys.
The lodge is also making coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and other goodies available for purchase as a fundraiser for community projects.
Let Scoutmaster Harllee know if you’re interested.
Troop 108 is participating in Unity Presbyterian Church’s Angel Tree this Christmas. Embracing the Scout Oath – “To Help Other People…” and one of the points of the Scout Law – “A Scout Is Helpful”, we hope to allow the scouts in our troop to contribute to the gift of the 7-year-old boy who wants a bicycle for Christmas.
Scouts who wish to participate should bring their contribution in a sealed envelope with “Angel Tree” written on the outside and give the envelope to either Ms. Nicky or Ms. Donna. We are not concerned with how little or how much each scout can contribute (and nobody will every know), the leaders just feel that this is a classic opportunity for each scout to see the Scout Oath and Law in action while making a 7-year-old in our community have a Merry Christmas!
UPDATE!: Thanks to all of the scouts who brought in contributions for our “Angel”. We were very quickly able to select and purchase an appropriate bike and safety gear for him. Again, THANKS!
