Fun with a Purpose
Troop 608 is a very active troop that lives up to how Baden Powell thought a scout should live and how a troop should function. He described Scouting as Fun with a Purpose. We believe that learning is best done when the learning activity is enjoyable and memorable. Instead of just talking about how to do something, we get out and do it. Instead of watching videos about how to do something, we watch, then do!
If you are looking for a diverse group who love to get out and have fun, come visit our troop.
Adventure
Adventure keeps things interesting. Whether it is a weekend camp or a week-long expedition, Troop 608 troop does it all.
Adventure can come in a variety of forms. Sailing the open seas, hiking and camping in the backcountry and mountains, camping in snow caves you build yourself, and relaxing with friends at a local lake. Come and see what adventure means to you.
Advancement
Eagle is the ultimate goal, but it’s a journey and not a destination.
Fewer than 7% of all scouts obtain the rank of Eagle Scout. Even though the requirements for obtaining Eagle are the same for everyone, the journey to Eagle is unique to each Scout.
The journey is what makes Scouting such an important part of a scout’s life, and what develops the skills and attitudes that last a lifetime.
