From Boy Scout Troop 18
Boy Scout Troop 18 is sponsored by the First Presbyterian Church of Jackson, Mississippi, and is located within the Andrew Jackson Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
First Presbyterian Church also sponsors Cub Scout Pack 7, and both Troop 18 and Pack 7 are under the oversight of the Scout Committee, a sub-committee of the Christian Education Committee.
At present, we have about 40 active members, and we have an active year-round camping program which includes monthly campouts, a week-long camp opportunity each summer, and regular participation in national events such as Philmont, Northern Tier Canoe Base, Florida Sea Base, and national Jamborees.
The Scouting program is designed to promote character development, citizenship training, and physical fitness. These aims are accomplished through various methods, including ideals (the Scout Oath and Law), uniforms, the patrol method, advancement, outdoor programs, leadership development, opportunities for personal growth, and adult role models.
This website is operated by Boy Scout Troop 18, Jackson, Mississippi, for the purpose of providing a means of communicating a variety of information to our members, prospective members, their parents, and troop leadership. For the types of information we collect on this site and how it is used, see Boy_Scout_Troop_18:Privacy_policy.
Since we're just getting started, all we have so far is our roster of current Leadership, Troop 18 Eagles and our list of Former Scoutmasters, but we hope to build on that soon. For now, you can find your way back to another part of our website through one of the following links:
