New Troop Photo Gallery

You can even order prints, or copy images and make your own at home. Go ahead and take a look. If you're looking for old event photos, you can still visit our OLD PHOTO GALLERY. We have shots in there back to 2002.

Our Mission Statement
 Troop 118 emphasizes to each boy to serve others by teaching values that can be found in the Scout Oath and Law.  Our troop helps each scout to make correct ethical choices in their lifetime so they can achieve their full potential.  Troop 118 helps to develop young leaders, and instill in them the values of community services, respect for the outdoors, and personal spirituality. 
 We are committed to adventure, learning, challenge and fun. We encourage all scouts to respect each other and seek responsibility and be disciplined both within the troop and in their everyday lives. We incorporate fun, advancement and recognition, and youth leadership opportunities at our meetings, camping trips and service projects.  We support each scout as they take it One Pace at a Time to advance in rank and strive to reach one of scouting greatest honors-the rank of Eagle.
