Chisholm Trail

We are in need of an adult leader to lead our Chisholm Trail Adventure this summer as REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN.

Chisholm Trail is for those Scouts aged 13 or older or who have completed 7th grade by June 2019. It's like the first high adventure experience they can have in Boy Scouts. Wouldn't it be awesome to make that happen for them?  A reminder **everyone attending must pass BSA Swimmer’s Test.

Scout Sunday

Scout Sunday is an observance of the connection between the BSA and its religious-oriented chartering partners.

As part of our commitment to giving back to our Chartered Organization, our units (Troop 1910, Crew 1910, Pack 1910 and Troop 1920) will provide volunteers at each of the services held Saturday, 2/16 and Sunday, 2/17 to continually recognize the impact of Scouting within the church body of Keller UMC.

Youth will be greeters/ushers to help recognize and demonstrate our commitment to the Scout Law being Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Cheerful and Reverent.

Participation as a volunteer at our Chartered Organization on Scout Sunday qualifies Scouts to receive the Scout Sunday patch pictured above. Your family needn't be a member of the church for your Scout to participate, just a registered Scout of our Unit. 

You will need to officially sign up to volunteer through THIS LINK so that Ms. Smariga, our Chartered Organization Representative, may track and communicate with volunteers as needed.

For participating, full Field Uniform is required.

Merit Badge College

Registration is now open for the Troop 1910 Merit College which will be held February 2 and February 16 at the Scout House.

We will be entering the lottery for Northern Tier 2020 tomorrow morning. Thanks much for the survey responses, it will help in future planning but I realize now those responses are anonymous. We had 7 express interest in NT2020 and 8 "maybe". To get a more specific list of those interested I will be holding a quick interest meeting at this evening's Troop meeting, OR, you can reply to this email with the name of the adults and/or scout(s) interested in participating in NT2020.
