BSA Troop 218

Scout Troop 218 offers a year-round adventure-based program designed to offer and encourage effective character, citizenship, and fitness training for boys and girls age 11-17.

In addition to monthly camping, Scouts and adult leaders enjoy activities such as hiking, kayaking, canoeing and more while accommodating the needs of today’s busy families.

Troop Meetings are held every Monday Evening at 7:00pm at Covenant United Methodist Church – 15515 N. Gleneden Drive, Spokane, WA 99208.

Merit Badges

Merit badges are awards earned by youth members of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), based on activities within an area of study by completing a list of periodically updated requirements. The purpose of the merit badge program is to allow Scouts to examine subjects to determine if they would like to further pursue them as a career or a vocation.

Scouting Events

Throughout the year our scouts have participated in canoeing the upper reaches of the Missouri River, snow-shoeing and winter camping in the Selkirk Mountains, week-long camps on Lake Pend O’Reille and biking the Hiawatha Trail. Every year we try to squeeze in backpacking, mountain biking, hiking, canoeing, fishing, wilderness survival camping, outdoor cooking competitions, rifle and shotgun shooting events, archery and orienteering.
