Pensacola, FL

interested
Thank you for considering Troop 608
There are two ways of looking at Boy Scouting.
1. From the boy’s viewpoint, it's a game. It takes him outdoors for camping and hiking, and it gives him a chance to learn new skills and to be recognized for doing so. It also provides plenty of fun with old and new friends.
2. From a parent's viewpoint, Scouting is all of that and more. It aims to strengthen the boy's character through precept and example, to make him an aware, participating citizen, and to enhance his physical, mental and moral development.
To join Troop 608, a scout must be one of the following:
1. At least 11 years old but not yet 18 years old.
2. At least 10 years old but not yet 18 years old AND have completed the 5th grade OR earned the Arrow of Light Award in Cub Scouting.
3. Have a valid transfer application from another Boy Scout troop.
