Did you know there was ever a troop 507 library?! You didn’t? Well it’s been here for a long time, but it’s been reorganized and all the books are now listed online, so come check out a book! There are merit badge books, pamphlets, and even old Boy Scout handbooks! Click here to see what we have available. So come on down and read a book. But remember to follow the library rules while you’re there. If you have any questions ask the Librarian.

YIS,
