Summer Camp 2006, Ben Delatour Boy Scout Camp, north of Fort Collins, Colorado |
Who we are and what we doTroop 828, which was started on February 11, 1991, currently has about 60 scouts and 30 registered adult leaders. It is chartered by St. Laurence Catholic Parish in Sugar Land, Texas. Troop 828 is committed to instilling in the youth of our troop the values of the Scout Oath and Law, teaching them to become exemplary citizens of the community and leaders of the future. And we all, adults and scouts, have a lot of fun! Troop meetings are held three times a month on Monday nights at the church Parish Hall. The Troop Committee usually meets on the last Monday night of the month. Every year the troop develops a calendar of activities reflecting the interests of the scouts, with a focus on camping and developing scouting skills. We have a weekend campout about once a month, a week-long winter camp in December, and a week-long summer camp in June or July. You can see the kinds of things we've done in the last couple of years at our Troop Events page.
