BSA Troop 1188

Troop 1188 will be hosting a Flag Retirement Ceremony on November 15th!

This meaningful ceremony is open to the community. We welcome veterans, families, and all who wish to pay tribute to those who have served.
If you have a flag in need of retirement, please bring it with you. Please also bring your own outdoor chair for seating during the ceremony.

Let’s come together in respect, remembrance, and pride for our country and those who protect it.

On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country. To obey the scout law. To help other people are all times. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

We begin every meeting with the Scout Oath. We do this because it is important. A nation is made of its citizens. Without pride, duty, and respect for our nation, what are we?

Memorial Day isn't about barbeque and backyard parties. It's a day of remembrance for the fallen. We remember the generations that fought and died for our freedoms.

On Saturday we participated in Carry The Load in Rockwall. Yesterday we retired flags that have been worn, torn, soiled, and are no longer fit to represent our nation.

It seems and feels small in comparison to the sacrifice that brave men and women have made for generations. Yet, something somber and deeply meaningful is also felt.

I want to thank all of those who attended and made this weekend possible. We thank those brave men and women who are enshrined this holiday. And we pray for the families and friends that feel their loss the greatest.

Thinking about joining scouts? Here's a peek at what our boys were up to at last night's meeting

Troop 1188 is proud to announce our as of tonight Corban has completed his Eagle board of review! Eagle #53 Mr. Corban Robbins!

As I see these young men achieve the rank of Eagle I am reminded of a quote.

"Anyone can achieve their fullest potential, who we are might be predetermined, but the path we follow is always of our own choosing. We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny. Your destiny can't be changed but, it can be challenged. Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one."

-Martin Heidegger
