Troop 508 Summer Fishing Photo Contest – Now through 8/31; prize for best photo
“Fishing Photo” can be a lot of different things: photo of your big catch, great sunset from the lake where you’re fishing, funny pic of a family member who fell asleep in their chair while fishing, etc.
Over the summer take pics whenever you go fishing and email them to along with a short 50 words or so write up on the photo. You can enter up to 5 photos over the summer.
Please enter only pics from summer 2017. Good luck!

Troop Elections are coming soon – Scouts will elect a Senior Patrol Leader and Patrol Leaders.
For Scouts who are interested in a position of responsibility, there will be cards to put your name on and anything you would like to say about yourself. This is a great opportunity to take a leadership role in the troop!
A Scout is Courteous… Please bring a water bottle to meetings. Woodhaven has asked us not to use their cups. We need to be respectful of the church as a whole, this includes the kitchen area and the ice maker.
Scoutmaster Mr. Bolton will be at Woodhaven from 6:30 to 7:00 before each meeting to sign books, have conferences, etc.
