Hello 203 Scout’s Troop,

The Investiture ceremony is extremely important for our Troop as we believe it signifies the reliance and confidence that the Scout Troop places in the newly invested Scouts. Wearing the 203 crest badge and Scouts necker/ woogle signifies a youth’s accountability to the Troop, as they recite The Scout Promise to do their best and to carry out the spirit of the Scout Law.
