About Troop 3

Troop 3 is a proud member of the Youth Ministry of Northwest Hills United Methodist Church – our host organization.  Be sure to check out the main NWHUMC web site:  http://nwhillsumc.org/

Troop 3 meets every Monday night (except for Mondays following campouts, which are reserved for Troop PLC meetings) from 7:00-8:30 pm in the Youth Center of Northwest Hills United Methodist Church, located on Hart Lane directly across from Murchison Middle School.

Meetings cover many diverse topics.  Meetings focus on various rank advancements, merit badge requirements and skills necessary for upcoming campouts, such as canoeing, rock climbing, fishing, backpacking, etc.  Depending upon the meeting topic, the meeting may be presented by one of the Scouts, a Scoutmaster, a parent with special knowledge, or by an expert in a specific area.

The types of campouts (e.g. shooting, kayaking, backpacking) are determined by the scouts in an annual meeting / survey. With this input, campouts are planned and scheduled.

The Troop attends a traditional summer Scout camp every year.  Every other year, the Troop travels to a more distant summer camp or plans an adventure trek such as canoeing the Current River in Missouri or mountain camping and white water rafting in Colorado.
