These meetings usually include a mixture of skill development and fun activities. The Scouts also meet as patrols when needed to plan upcoming outings. Troop Meetings are held on most Mondays as specified in the Troops Calendar. Meetings are held year round at Murray Hills Christian Church in the Fellowship Hall.
