In general, we meet on Tuesday evenings, from 7:00 PM until 8:30 PM at The Loyal Order of Moose Lodge #1548, 2200 Pratt St., Longmont, CO. There are no troop meetings on the Thrid Tuesday of every month; on those evenings, our troop Patrol Leadership Committee and adult leader committee meet to plan troop activities. You can also check our troop calendar to see the topics for each troop meeting or activity.

Troop 548 Goals

Troop 548 is open to all boys:

• who have earned the Arrow of Light Award
• OR who have completed the fifth grade
• OR who are 11 through 17 years old

Our primary goal as a troop is to have fun while exemplifying the Scouting ideals. To achieve that goal, we've set the following goals for the troop:

• Offer a wide range of activities for Scouts to:
  • Develop Scouting skills
  • Enjoy outdoor activities
  • Develop respect for nature
  • Be challenged physically
  • Develop self-confidence
• Provide a multi-level, multi-dimensional structure to help Scouts succeed.
  • A central principle of Boy Scouting is that a well-run troop is run for and by the young men who belong to it.
  • Troop 548 uses Patrol and Troop leadership, and adult mentoring, to support Scouts at all levels.
  • Adults in the troop assist and provide guidance for the Scouts with activities, troop organization and advancement, but the Scouts themselves, through the Organizational structure of the troop, are responsible to make these things happen.
  • As with any learning process, there are occasional inefficiencies and short-term difficulties -- and great rewards when our sons develop important life skills such as respect for one another, responsibility, and leadership.
• Open the world of Scouting to all interested boys and young men through active and on-going recruiting.
• Serve as a valued member of the community through:
  • Service projects
  • Interaction with our charter organization
  • Interaction with other local and district BSA troops
  • Interaction with other community service organizations in and around Longmont
• Develop leadership skills in our Scouts, by:
  • Fostering camaraderie and helping Scouts understand the dynamics and value of teamwork
  • Providing opportunities for Scouts to plan, organize and run their own activities
  • Integrating life skills in troop activities
  • Teaching wilderness and outdoor skills

The troop provides a variety of ways for the Scouts to reach these goals:

• At a weekly troop meeting, the Scouts may plan upcoming campouts or service projects, or work together on rank advancement or merit badges.
• Through-out the year, the Scouts organize weekend camping trips. Our current calendar provides an idea of the Scout's diverse interests - and their energy!
• Troop members also participate in several service activities during the year. These are programs oriented to good citizenship in the community, and include Community Food Share, Christmas Bike Giveaway, and Eagle service projects.
• The troop participates in a number of inter-troop activites each year, including the Fall Rendezvous and District Scout Show.
• The troop also organizes many special events, such as an annual week-long summer camp and back-packing trips.

Parent Participation

Parents can help the troop flourish in many different ways: as adult scout leaders, by helping with transportation for our weekend activities, by serving on the troop committee, or by offering their vocational and avocational knowledge as merit badge counselors.

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Scout Oath

On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law

A Scout is: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.

Scout Motto

Be prepared

Scout Slogan

Do a good turn daily

Outdoor Code

As an American, I will do my best to be clean in my outdoor manners, be careful with fire, be considerate in the outdoors, and be conservation-minded.

Troop Benediction

May all the great Scouts 
And all the great Scout Masters 
Be with us 'til we meet again 

May we run the race 
At the good Scout's pace 
Up the trail 
That leads to Him 

Good night, Scouts!
