Leadership Through Service

Our Troop motto is “Leadership Through Service” and Troop 8 looks for ways to lead and serve in the Wilson, North Carolina area. From partnering with the City of Wilson to clean out a stormwater trash trap, to being Red Cross trained in CPR and disaster shelter operations, to individual Eagle projects and service opportunities as they arise, Troop 8 is dedicated to making the community we live in a better place.

The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.
