Troop Information

    Troop 27 is a moderate sized troop of about 20.  This environment allows the Scouts to get to know each other.  Our size also allows for swifter advancement because their is less opposition when running for a troop position that is needed to advance to reach higher ranks.
    We go on campouts all across Texas about once a month with the hill country being one of our favorite places.  These campouts are decided by the elected Patrol Leaders Council in the spring of the year, which is always looking for new ideas.  These campouts are put to a specific theme to teach a merit badge.  Merit badge counselors are always willing to help you out if you need it.  We also go to a Winter Camp after Christmas so that Scouts can earn 3-4 merit badges.  We attend different summer camps each year all over the United States like Camp Tom Hale in Oklahoma, Camp Alexander in Colorado, Camp Orr in Arkansas, Camp Daniel Boone in North Carolina, and the list continues to grow.  These summer camps are decided by the Patrol Leaders Council.
    For older Scouts we have a venture patrol, as an addition to regular troop activities, that goes to places like Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, the Tetons, Big Bend, Sea Base in the Bahamas and many more.  Activities that they do include backpacking, repelling and rock climbing, white water rafting, etc.  These places are decided by the Scouts of the venture patrol.  These are just a few things younger Scouts have to look forward to as they gain experience in basic and advanced skills.
