2013 Troop Activity Calendar

Here is our TENTATIVE 2013 Troop Activity Calendar. Please do note that dates are subject to change.

Youth Protection Training


Why is YPT (article link) so important? Because a safe environment is best achieved when everyone is trained and fully aware, whether explicitly required or not. Troop 21 and BSA take this seriously and so should you.

Training can be done quickly online; go to myscouting.org and log-in or create an account. Upon completion, give a copy of your YPT certificate to the Troop 21 Training Coordinator: Marla Gordon.

Eagle Scouts: Merit Beyond the Badge


The results are in from the 2010 Baylor University study, Eagle Scouts – Merit Beyond the Badge, conducted by the university’s Program for Pro-Social Behavior under a grant from the John Templeton Foundation.

    Committee Chair

    Parent Planning Meeting Changes

    The executive committee met recently and made the recommendation the Parent Planning meetings be held on an every-other-month basis. Given that, we will plan to meet on the 2nd Monday in the odd months and plan to skip the month of July. We hope this will make our meetings more meaningful and take less of your valuable time. Please feel free to provide any feedback.
