Where does the Boy Scout badge get it's shape?                                                                   The fleur de lis shape of the scout badge is patterned after a compass rose --- the decorative north-pointing arrow on early maps.  It is meant to remind scouts to always keep their bearings and follow a straight path.

Hello.  My name is Adam Kmiec.  I am seventeen years old and a Life scout.  I am currently the troop's Assistant Senior Patrol Leader and a member of the Falcon Patrol.  We are always looking for new people to join the troop, so you are always welcome to come to a troop meeting on Tuesday nights at 7 p.m.
Hello.  My name is Jon Harmon.  I am 16 and a Life scout.  I’m a member of Troop 868's Falcon Patrol.  I've gone on a bunch of fun campouts with Troop 868, including a trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.  All the guys in our troop have a great respect for Scouting and most have a goal of becoming Eagle Scouts.  The Falcons are always looking for new recruits and invite you to join us.  Troop 868 is by far one of the most well established and successful troops in Kentucky.
My name is Nick Canchola.  I'm a  junior at Bullitt Central High School.  Just like most of our other boys, I have interests other than Scouting.  I play drums for my school and my church; and I'm in the drama club at school.  A common concern is whether boys can balance sports, school activities, and Boy Scouts?  Let me assure you, it can be done!

If you are at all interested in becoming a Boy Scout, then come and visit us sometime.  Visit several times.  The more time you spend with us, the more you'll get to know us and the more you'll want to join and have the same kind of fun we're having as Boy Scouts.  We would love to meet you.

My name is Gabe DiEnno.  I'm currently the leader of the Beaver Patrol.  We have three different patrols in our troop -- the Beaver Patrol, the Cobra Patrol, and the Falcon Patrol.  On campouts, we sleep, cook, and function by patrols, so choosing the right patrol is important.  You'll probably want to go on several outings and get to know the guys in all the patrols before deciding which one you want to join.

Once you pick a group, your patrol will be just like being with family.  In Boy Scouts, your patrol is like your home away from home.  Come join us and become part of the Troop 868 family.
