This schedule reflects dates that are confirmed as of publication. Dates are subject to change and other activities may be added, in which case scouts will be given timely notice. Remember to stay involved!

*Each scout is expected to do their best to attend as many Troop functions as possible (this includes meetings and not just fun events!) Scouts who miss the majority of Troop meetings may be ineligible to attend the fun activities. Scouts are to be in Class A uniforms for all meetings unless otherwise directed. Routine uniform inspections will take place in the upcoming months. Scouts should bring their Scout handbook to each meeting. We will have heavy emphasis on advancement and Scout Skills through the months of October and November.

REMEMBER!!  We cannot possibly cover all advancement requirements at Troop meetings. Many of the requirements can be accomplished on your own, at home, or in your free time. Scouts should be working on advancement between Troop meetings. You can then have things checked off by the leaders at weekly Troop meetings, providing you know your stuff!

Details for certain events (times/prices/etc.) will be made available as soon as we have them and will be communicated via email or the Patrol Leaders. Please make sure the Troop has a current email, address, and phone number for each scout/parent! It is your responsibility to make sure the Troop has accurate contact information.

There may be changes to this schedule and scouts will be given timely notice of these. Please print this and post it in a prominent place! We have a busy fall season coming up so plan to be active and don’t miss out on any of the fun!

Stay involved        Lead by Example
Be Prepared          Do a Good Turn Daily
