A Busy Summer
Summer 2008 was very productive for the scouts of Troop 108. During a single week of summer camp, 14 scouts completed 58 merit badges and partially completed another eight badges. But that's not all! Five scouts completed the requirements for their next rank, and eight scouts earned their Totin' Chip, which grants them the right to carry and use woods tools. Troop 108 scouts were busy outside of summer camp too: five scouts earned a total of eleven merit badges and three other scouts advanced to their next rank. That's a total of 69 merit badges and eight rank advancements completed over the summer -- an accomplishment you can all be very proud of! Special thanks to the senior scouts and adult scouters that worked with these scouts to make it possible.
Updated: Merit Badge Counselor List
A new version of the Troop 108 affiliated Merit Badge Counselors is available in the Advancement section after you log in.
We're always looking for more, and there's a application available in the same section.
Summer Camp 2008
The troop recently returned from a week at summer camp, and we have over 200 pictures to show that everybody had a great time.

Why Fire Safety Training Is Important!
Three Boy Scouts are recovering from burns suffered during a "ring of fire" demonstration that went awry at the Joseph A. Citta Scout Reservation.
Deputy Chief Michael Mohel of the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said the incident occurred about 11:30 p.m. Sunday, when an 18-year-old Scout, who is also a senior staff member at the reservation, used rubbing alcohol from a bottle to create a flammable circle on a makeshift table, Mohel said.
