SCOUTISM

Sometimes it takes looking through the haze of campfire smoke to see the world clearly.

ABOUT US

Troop meetings are conducted each week with all Patrols, who then meet afterwards to engage in patrol activities and advancements. Every month there is a scheduled campout somewhere within Florida or a South Florida Council event. Additionally, all members of the Troop are encouraged to participate in the many superb Eagle Scout Projects throughout the year.

We convene a Court of Honor in January and in May to recognize scout participation and advancement. An Eagle Court of Honor is held each April to commend our Eagle Scout candidates.

Each summer our scouts attend an out-of-state BSA Summer Camp or Outdoor Adventure experience. Whitewater rafting, spelunking and/or visiting local resources are always added to the already challenging adventure if possible!

Our Troop meetings are held in the fellowship hall of Kendall United Methodist Church, located at 7600 SW 104th Street in Miami, each Tuesday evening starting at 7:30PM – except for school holidays.

At 7:00PM, our Patrol Leaders' Council (PLC) meets prior to the Troop meeting. Around 8:00PM, individual patrols meet where they work on scout skills, rank advancement, merit badges, and plan for any upcoming campouts and/or outings.

The Scouts BSA program has always included uniforms for its members. Scouts and Scouters should wear their uniforms to all scout meetings and outings. Troop 457 Class B T-shirts are available from our Treasurer. Additionally, our uniform recycling program has various uniform items for troop members.

Parents are encouraged to attend all troop activities. This is an excellent time to be a part of your scout's venture, meet other parents and engage in troop concerns.
