Each year we ask you, the Scouts, where you’d like to go to summer camp.

We take a survey, and the PLC uses the results to pick a camp.  If you know of a camp you’d like to add to the list, there is a place to add at the end.

We will run this survey through September.

You can fill out the survey here

These 2 recipes are great for camping.

For new parents (and a refresher for everyone else) last year, Troop 508 started a  “Coup Program” (pronounced ‘coo’) that many troops across the country are using.

This is a great way for you (Scouts and uniformed leaders) to show off your participation in the troop.  Beads (coups) will be issued at the end of activities for those in attendance.

There will be an “event coup” (depending on the type of event) and a “weather coup” (depending, of course, on the weather) presented at the end of each event.

A couple notes:  These coups will be presented at the activity at the adult leadership’s discretion (when it comes to weather).  Coups will be presented for events the troop is taking part in.  Stars are at leader discretion.  This is intended to be fun, and a form of encouragement for both leaders and youth.
