Weekly Troop Meeting

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.

Outdoor Gear Tips From Boys Life

  • Waterproof pack covers
    Q. I really like hiking but I don’t have anything for covering my backpack when it rains. What should I use?
  • Stuff We Like: JakPak
    It’s a jacket. Wait, it’s a sleeping bag. No, it’s a tent. Actually it’s a JakPak, an interesting new waterproof jacket with a built-in, deployable pack that converts the thing into a bivy sack (a tiny one-man tent).
