We gather for several types of events. Below are descriptions of the different types of events.
Our regular program year is from the 1st Thursday after Labor Day in September to the last Thursday before Memorial Day in May. There will be planning meetings, Hit The Trails and Summer Camps during the June to August months.
Weekly meetings
Meeting are attended by the Trailman youth to receive training to help build skills and earn achievements. Regular attendance is critical for your son to succeed in the troop. You can find more information about the weekly meetings in the Meetings page found here.
Weekend events
are called outings or campouts. During our campouts your Trailman son will use the classroom knowledge he has gained to complete a skills badge or award. You can find more information about the campouts in the Camping page found here.
Service Projects
are opportunities for your Trailman to participate with his fellow Trailmen in a work project that will benefit a person or non-profit organization that needs help maintaining something they own/operate. These events are designed to help impact the community we meet in. You can find more information about the service projects in the Service Projects page found here.
