© 2005 – Troop 708 hosted by COIN www.coin.org
History
Our troop was chartered at the Evangelical Free Church of Columbia in August of 2001. We have grown from an initial group of eight scouts to 65 active scouts.
About Scouting
Scouting is a values-based program with its own code of conduct. The Scout Oath and Law help instill the values of good conduct, respect for others, and honesty. Scouts learn skills that will last a lifetime, including basic outdoor skills, first aid, citizenship skills, leadership skills, and how to get along with others. For almost a century, Scouting has instilled in young men the values and knowledge that they will need to become leaders in their communities and country.
Our Organization
708 is a boy-lead troop. We have 7 patrols made up of about eight boys per patrol. Leadership positions are selected twice annually to allow as many Scouts as possible to have a wide range of leadership experiences.
