Troop 88
The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
Merit badges are awards earned by youth members of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), based on activities within an area of study by completing a list of periodically updated requirements. The purpose of the merit badge program is to allow Scouts to examine subjects to determine if they would like to further pursue them as a career or a vocation.
Troop 88 offers boys age 11-17 opportunities for adventure, leadership, and excitement. Boys have opportunities to plan and organize meals, events, and achievement goals while filling several leadership roles. In addition to camping, Scouts and adult leaders enjoy activities such as rock-climbing and rappelling, canoeing, target-shooting, and much more while accommodating the needs of today’s busy families. The Scouting experience has no equal, and we welcome you to experience Scouting with Troop 88. Meetings are held most Monday Evenings at 6:30 pm in the lower level of Millersville Community UMC - Grace Campus, 163 W Frederick St, Millersville, PA.
Here are some examples of the fun events we have experienced in recent years:
– Summer Camps in Pennsylvania
– Community Service Projects
– Annual Winter Squirrel Camp
– Reading Rocks indoor climbing
– Rifle and shotgun shooting events
Our leadership has many years of Scouting Experience with Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and Venturing.
