Thank you for your interest in our Troop. Troop 642 Leaders and Parents are committed to helping all Scouts start, continue and complete their path to Eagle.
In order for your son to join he will need to call Mike Shea (micshea@gmail.com 832-613-5659) to schedule the meeting date of his joining scoutmaster conference - it is important for the boy to make the call himself, to reflect that it is his decision, his scouting career, and his responsibility. Joining conferences are conducted prior to Wednesday meetings and begin promptly at 6:30pm.
A BSA application and health forms are needed. Youth and adult applications and medical forms are linked below. Forms A & B are required to join and form C will be needed by early spring for Summer Camp preparation.
A BSA adult application, Youth Protection training and Background Check Authorization form are required for any adult that wants to attend a campout (links below).
