Troop 108 Scouts Attend Personal Management Merit Badge Fast Track Class
Several scouts from Troop 108 attended the Personal Management Fast Track class held by Family Trust Federal Credit Union at their Rock Hill operations center on November 1st, 2008. 
It was even announced that Troop 108 had more scouts there than any other unit in the district. Our 10 boys represented 10% of those scouts present.
The staff of the credit union did a great job of walking the attendees through the various requirements of the merit badge and giving them insight into how to not only earn the merit badge, but learn and apply the principles taught through the course in their fiscal lives.
Each boy was given a ticket upon entering the building and the staff drew for prizes throughout the course. Troop 108’s Alex H. was the first scout to have his ticket drawn for a prize. He walked away with a really cool Family Trust FCU game set with eight or ten games in a neat case.
To encourage each scout to practice the principles taught as part of the course, each received a coupon good for the $5.00 needed to open up a savings account at Family Trust FCU. At the end of the course all of the boys were treated to pizza from Papa Johns.
A big “Thank You” to Family Trust for taking the time and shouldering the expense for this merit badge course for the boys of York District.
