Scouts BSA Fair

Each year our District holds a Scout Fair which allows all area Troops to set up and provide information on our unit to prospective Webelos or Scouts who are interested or will soon be making their determinations on which Troop is right for them.  We are participating in the Scout Fair September 15 from 2-4:30 pm (Yes, this is the day we are returning from the campout).  However, this is an important recruiting opportunity for our Unit and we would love to have ASMs, Committee Members and Scouts present to help present the best of Troop 1910 to the visitors.

Mustang District Merit Badge Mania Coming Soon!

Merit Badge Mania is coming soon to Tarrant County College - Northeast, 828 W. Harwood Road, Hurst (right in our backyard!)

Online registration will begin September 9.  Bookmark THIS SITE and register early for a discount.

September Camping

Permission forms for the September Climbing Campout at Sid Richardson Scout Ranch are due at our September 9 Troop meeting.  The Permission Form is HERE.

Please note to participate in this event, there is an additional $7 fee to be included with your Permission Forms as well as your money for food which is given to the grubmaster for your patrol.

A reminder to all parents and Scouts - electronics and/or phone are NOT allowed on campouts.  They must remain either at home or in the vehicle your Scout rode in on the campout. 

Troop Elections

Troop elections will be held at the September 16 Troop Meeting. It is very important that every Scout attend. Your elections allow you to choose your troop leaders for the next six months. Plus, we must have a quorum to conduct elections, so your attendance is critical. As a reminder, all Scouts running for election should be prepared to give a one-to-two minute speech detailing why troop members should vote for you.  Scouts are encouraged to run for more than one position to increase their chances of being elected into a leadership position.

Election information may be found HERE.  Election Forms are found on Page 3 of that document and are due to ASM Stephen Cook by the September 9 Troop Meeting.

Safe Sanctuary

ALL PARENTS, LEADERS AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS that attend Troop meetings – please make sure you sign in to the adult roster near the front door every single time you attend a Troop function. We need this to ensure Safe Sanctuary compliance.

To become Safe Sanctuary certified, you must have six months of continuous activity with the Troop (i.e. attend at least 1 meeting a month, then maintain this activity level in the future).

The roster allows us the ability to show the church that we are complying with their Safe Sanctuary policy, which again, is for the benefit and safety of our Scouts and that is our highest priority always!

We would like to encourage all parents to become Safe Sanctuary certified right HERE
*Please note there is a $15 fee for the background check.

Safe Sanctuary certification greatly benefits our Unit on Campouts, at Troop meetings and events, as well as Merit Badge Counseling, as required by our Charter (Keller UMC).

If you have any questions, please talk to Kathy Warren in the Committee Room at an upcoming Troop meeting.

Troop Meeting Tonight

Reminder:  Troop Meeting tonight in the FLC (Family Life Center) at 7pm

Conservation Project

For those Scouts in need of conservation service hours, the Mustang District is hosting a conservation project at Sid Richardson Scout Ranch August 31. 

DOWNLOAD THE FLYER HERE.

This is not a Troop event, so the parent would need to attend with their Scout.

Contact for the event: Denice Boettcher - 817-805-4266.

Additionally, the Troop will have upcoming conservation service projects on campouts and at the church in the near future, so don’t feel pressured to attend this event for the conservation hours. It’s just another opportunity for those interested.
