Troop Program

Each week we have a Troop Meeting (except during school holidays). Every month there is a scheduled camp out or major Council/District event. To see what we have coming up or to see what we have done – take a look at our Troop Events page. Additionally, all members of the Troop are encouraged to participate in the many Eagle scout projects throughout the year.

Each summer our scouts attend Summer Camp and/or a BSA High Adventure experience.

At a week long Summer Camp, traveling North by bus, train or plane, the scouts work on Scout skills and earn merit badges such as: Art, Astronomy, Basketry, Camping, Cooking, Environmental Science, First Aid, Indian Lore, Leatherwork, Lifesaving, Nature, Orienteering, Pioneering, Rifle Shooting, Rowing, Sailing, Shotgun Shooting, Soil & Water Conservation, Space Exploration, Swimming, Wilderness Survival, and Wood Carving. Whitewater rafting, spelunking or visiting the local resources are always added to the adventure if possible!

Our older scouts can participate in an annual high adventure experience. Each year crews go to places such as Florida Sea Base in Islamorada, Florida or Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico or Northern Tier in Ely, Minnesota.

Weekly Meetings

We meet on Monday evenings at Kendall United Methodist Church, 7600 SW 104th Street, starting at 7:00 p.m. The meetings, which are planned by the scouts themselves, are divided into three parts:

7:00 - 7:30 PM – LEADERSHIP MEETING

We start off with a Leadership Meeting where the Troop Leadership (Patrol Leaders on up) goes over the agenda for the Troop Meeting. Meanwhile, the week's host Patrol sets up chairs and tables for the Troop Meeting, then prepares the for the opening flag ceremony.

7:30 - 8:15 PM – TROOP MEETING

The Troop Meeting is where we review achievements by individuals, Patrols or the Troop; then announcements for upcoming events and projects are made.

8:15 - 9:00 PM – PATROL MEETING

During the Patrol Meeting we work on scout skills, advancement, merit badges, and fun. We also plan for any upcoming camp outs and outings.
