Scouts BSA Troop 108, Fort Mill, SC
Our youth leaders elected not to hold a troop meeting on Halloween night this year.
We hope that you all have a happy and safe evening and we look forward to seeing you at November 7th’s regular meeting.
Each year in December the troop has to recharter our members. This requires scouts and leaders to pay the fees needed to continue their membership for the coming year. The deadline for payment is December 1st 2016.
Two options for payment are being offered:
Total cost for registration is $50 and this covers the BSA annual membership renewal as well as maintenance for troop equipment, the purchase of new troop equipment, badges and awards that our scouts earn and more.
Note that the troop is no longer able to front the money for scouts who have not completed payment in full for their annual membership prior to December 1st, 2016. We have extended this courtesy in the past and have not gotten paid back in some cases. To prevent this from occurring in the future, the practice is being discontinued.
Questions about the annual membership renewal process? Click here and select the Troop Committee Chairman as the recipient and complete the contact form.
Did you have a chance to participate in the Webelos Woods as a Webelo Scout about to transition into A Boy Scout Troop? If so, you remember what a great time of learning and fun it was. Tjere is about to be another Webelos Woods weekend coming up on October 21-23 at Westminster Park, Rock Hill and they are in need of scout-aged leaders to help staff the event.
Troop 108 is blessed by scouts with leadership potential and ability and this is a great chance to put it to use in a fun environment and earn service hours in the process. There is a $15 staff fee which covers your meals while at the course and staff t-shirt.
If you’re interested in helping out, please open, read, complete and return the staff application found on the link below:

Since our schools are closed on October 10th for Columbus Day, we will not have a scout meeting – per our “No School, No Scouts” rule.
We will see some of you on the 17th for a Patrol Leader’s Council and Board of Review night .
We will see everyone again on the 24th and then we will take October 31st, Halloween, off again for the holiday.
Enjoy!
After watching videos about our three possible camp choices, our scouts voted to go to Camp Rainey Mountain for summer camp in 2017. This camp is located in the mountains of Georgia near Clayton and has gotten rave reviews. The troop last visited this camp 10 years ago in 2007. Preliminary indications are that we will be there the week of the 4th of July in 2017.
Basic cost should be $295 with additional fees added depending upon which activities and badges are selected as part of the scout’s adventurous week at camp.
Each scout needs to have paid:
We encourage you to make use of the “pay any amount toward summer camp” feature that is available in the lower right corner of this website to make monthly payments, starting now, toward your scout’s summer camp adventure.
Scouts must have a current BSA physical form (Parts A, B & C), completed by a physician, turned into the troop no later than June 1st, 2017.
Here is the camp’s website:
Here are links to two videos that they have on Youtube:
