BSA Troop 118 Homepage

Willamette District, Salem, Oregon USA

• Troop 118 was formed September of 1995 with 6 Scouts.  The Charter Organization is Our Savior's Lutheran Church located at 1274 Cunningham Lane S., Salem, OR 97302.

• The Troop meets from 7:00 to 8:30 Tuesday evenings in the Fellowship Hall.  The meetings usually consist of skills instruction, patrol corners, trip planning, Merit Badge instruction, games and fun that are planned and run by the boys.  Occasionally we meet at the swimming pool, grade school for games, or other destination for some type of activity in place of the regular Troop Meeting.

• Activities Include: At least one overnight outing per month and a week long summer camp each year.  Past outings include cross-country skiing, camping and bicycling at Fort Stevens State Park, camping at Beverly Beach Park, Eagle Projects, Service Projects, Bon-Fire, day hikes, Silver Falls State Park, and Cascade Council Camporee.

• The Troop conducts periodic pop-can drives and participates in the Council Popcorn and Candy sales for the purchase of new equipment and supplies and provides ways for the Scouts to earn their way on outings and for Summer Camp.

• Troop 118 is run by the boys in the Troop. They plan and execute their own program. A group of the oldest and most experienced boys called The Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) meets on the first Thursday of each month to plan upcoming meetings and events.
