Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts, once said “Teach Scouts not how to get a living, but how to live’. Since Scouting began over 100 years ago, the program has been continuously updated, but the fundamentals remain: to develop future leaders by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. Troop 889 offers a year-round adventure-based program designed to offer and encourage effective character, citizenship, and fitness training for boys age 11-17.In addition to camping, Scouts are able to earn advancement and merit badge awards by learning and demonstrating skills within a particular area of study.

Nicholas Pistolis is one of our newest Eagle Scouts. He held his Eagle Court of Honor on the 9th of March. He successfully passed his Board of Review on November 4, 2013.
For his Eagle Scout Project he built a fire ring and benches for 360 Youth Services. 
He had an amazing turnout for his Court of Honor. He also had the Keynote Speech presented by Mr. Koberstine. Let’s support him as he works towards gaining Palms, achievements a scout can earn after he becomes an Eagle Scout.
