Meetings

Troop 642 meets on Wednesday nights, promptly at 7:00 p.m. It is recommended that the Scouts be a 15 minutes early as there is always some type of preparation before each meeting. Patrols are assigned weekly tasks such as arranging chairs before the meeting or taking the chairs down after the meeting.
Meetings adjourn promptly at 9:00 p.m.
The Patrol Leader of your son's patrol will call your son and remind him of the meeting and any special preparation that is needed for that meeting. He will also contact your son about upcoming camping trips and special activities. Following up on the requests of the Patrol Leader is an important part of the learning process for your son.
The Troop does not meet during the summer months and during holidays such as Spring Break, Thanksgiving and Christmas.Merit badges are generally taught on Tuesday or Thursday nights and at other times as scheduled by the instructor. We love to have parents to volunteer to teach the merit badges, especially if you have a special skill or interest.

Troop Committee Meetings

A Troop Committee meeting is held every first Monday of the month. All parents of Scouts are members of the Troop Committee. Policy is set and decisions concerning the Troop and its activities are made at this meeting. This is a good time to meet the other parents and learn what is going on in the Troop and what will be happening that month. Parents are strongly urged to attend this meeting.
You can obtain a Troop Roster with the name of all the Scouts, their parents names and their phone numbers. It also contains a breakdown of the Troop by Patrol and officer position.
You can learn the names of the other Scouts in your son's Patrol and their parents' names.
