| Troop 88 is located in Parker, Colorado. We
meet every Tuesday night from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. at the Parker
Evangelical Presbyterian Church ("PEPC"), in Parker. Our Troop is very active and we have something to offer
scouts of any age and interest. Some of the activities
we have planned this year include: Backpacking along
the Colorado Trail, Camp Dietler summer camp, hiking and
camping in Zion National Park in Utah, camping in Wyoming
with a trip to Devil's Tower, Hot Springs camping and
climbing, other camporees, Klondoree, and to top it all off
we will be going again to the grand poobah of all Scout
camps, Philmont Scout Camp in New Mexico!
In the past few years we have spent week-long summer
camps in California at Cherry Valley camp on the beautiful
Catalina island, Camp Loll in Wyoming with a side trip to
Yellowstone National Park, Boundry Waters canoe trip in
Minnesota and many more.
We have adult leaders with experience in all types of
camping and outdoor activities including: climbing,
canoeing, kayaking, backpacking, snow sports, archery,
fishing, motorboating, rifle and shotgun shooting. The
adult leaders help us put together the plans for our
activities.
In the fall of each year we spend a weekend campout
planning for the next years activities. From that
planning weekend, we put together a monthly calendar with
all of the next year's activities laid out.
During our monthly meetings, the
- first Tuesday of the
month is set aside for Advancements where we work on
completing requirements to advance to the next level of
scouting.
- second Tuesday of the month is the
Patrol Leaders Council where all the patrol leaders get
together and keep the troop on track to meet its goals for
the upcoming month.
- third Tuesday of the month is
usually set aside to make preparations for the upcoming
monthly campout.
- fourth Tuesday of the month, we
continue to work on scouting skills, advancement
requirements and planning activities.
- If there is a
fifth Tuesday in the month, we have a troop fun night where
we all go out and just have fun together.
Please feel free to come by and check us out, we always
welcome anyone interested in joining in the fun! For
further information, you may contact our Scoutmaster, Mr.
Joe Skalisky at 303-805-0337.
