Suwanee, Georgia, USA

Last updated: Oct 21, 2011


Yummmm! Breakfast at summer camp.


Re-chartered in 1996, Troop 518 meets at Shadowbrook Baptist Church in beautiful downtown Suwanee, Georgia. We are a non-denominational troop and proudly use the patrol method to guide young men toward a life based on character while teaching them leadership and outdoor skills. We are an active troop concentrating on backpacking with an outing planned for every month of the year. With the help of our Scout leadership and numerous parent volunteers we have earned the Quality Unit award every year since re-charter. Come visit us. Come join us. Come share some outdoor adventure.

Nov 5

  • Help the Fishermen
    Saturday, Nov 5 the Troop will meet up at Sims Lake Park (4600 Suwanee-Dam Rd) here in Suwanee and help young fishermen get started. Fishing times are from 3-6 PM, so we'll need to meet up about 2 PM. Scouts should be in uniform and ready to assit young fishermen. If you have a fishing rod, then by all means bring it along becasue it won't be "all work and no play". This will be a great time to work on the Fishing Merit Badge, but you must apply for a "blue card" first. Be sure and dress for the weather! More details from the Scout Master at the meetings.
