NEWS FLASH: MERIT BADGE DAY UPDATE

*** Troop 1518's Great Outdoor Merit Badge Day - Saturday, June 19th 2010 **

Our troop will hold its annual merit badge day on a Saturday June 19th, 2010 at Cedar Grove Park in Tustin. A variety of merit badges will be offered, including several Eagle required merit badges. Keep an eye on our website for more information!

Our mission is to help boys develop strong character and leadership skills while having fun.  We provide many opportunities to advance through the scout ranks, earn merit badges, and work on service projects run by our prospective Eagle Scouts.  The boys in our troop can choose which activities most interest them, and participate in those that best fit into their schedules.

Troop 1518 is a very active group.  We sponsor many outdoor activities, hold several campouts each year, and participate in week-long summer camps.  In addition, there may be opportunities for properly prepared Scouts to participate in high adventure activities (such as High Sierra backpack treks, rock climbing, cycling, fishing, skiing, mountain biking, rafting, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, surfing, and career exploring).

We generally meet on Monday evenings in the Multipurpose room of Pioneer Middle School in Tustin (please see the calendar for exact dates, times and location).  Scouts and Scouters are encouraged to arrive at 6:45 p.m. so that all may assist in preparation for Troop Meeting.  We open every meeting with a flag ceremony promptly at 7:00 pm, and meetings usually end at 8:30 pm.

Enjoy your visit!
