Welcome!

Troop Quotes was originally started as a Twitter account in which Boy Scouts and members of the Venturing, BSA program could get a laugh at common thoughts and ideas, along with quotes from fellow scouts, and yet could share there scouting memories. While the Twitter account remains true to those values, this blog is more. This blog gives you honest experiences and lessons learned by scouts, both adult leaders and youth leaders, along with awesome ideas for camping and activities. So welcome to the all new Troop Quotes!

Cell Phones and Scouts

Most scout troops will NOT allow cell phones and iPods when camping or at meetings. That is probably the best things, but there are some pluses to having one scout have a cell phone (I never thought I would say it either).

When on a camp-out and the boys are going off as a group without an adult leader, give the SPL or other trusted scout a cell phone (walkie-talkies work just as well, plus you don't have to worry about service). That way, if there is an emergency, a scout can call for help. Just remember to make sure to give it to a trusted scout.
