Troop 26 meets at our Scout Hut located near the entrance to Watrous Park every Thursday evening at 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm throughout the school year. The focus of our meetings is planned by the Patrol Leaders Council and coordinated by a Patrol with the assistance of a parent volunteer. In addition to working of Scouting skills and advancement requirements we schedule fun activities. Our meetings are held at our Scout Hut but once a month we travel to another location to take part in an activity such as rock climbing, go Karting, or rifle shooting.
Use the MEETINGS menu to check the meetings section for this week's agenda. |

THE SCOUT TRAIL
When we go hiking we spend most of our time on trails. Sometimes the going is easy because the ground is flat and smooth. Other times it's all uphill - steep and rocky.
The Scout advancement trail is like that, too. Some of the requirements for the skill awards and merit badges are easy for you. Some are tough like an uphill climb with a 40 pound pack.

Q. I have a 45-degree Lafuma mummy sleeping bag and a 15-degree liner to go with it, so it becomes a 30-degree bag. My dad says I’ll be fine in the cold, but I’m not so sure. It gets pretty cold in the tri-state area. What do you think I should do?
Here's an easy way to trace your way from one winter constellation to another.
