OUR TROOP
We are very pleased that you are interested in Troop 420 and the scouting organization. We hope that you have tons of fun, learn lifetime skills, and look back on this as one of the greatest experiences of your life. This guide has information about how Troop 420 runs and what you’ll need to know and do as Scout.
Troop Meeting Location
Weekly Troop Meetings are held at in the cafeteria at Hamilton Middle School, 4801 Waukesha St, Madison, WI
LEADING YOUTH TO LIFELONG VALUES
Our regular Troop meetings are Monday evenings, 7:15-8:20 p.m. in the “cafetorium” at Hamilton Middle School (unless a different location is announced). The Troop meets every Monday that school is open except for about 5-7 times a year after monthly outings which is reserved for a Patrol Leaders Council (PLC), at which the youth leadership of the Troop meets to plan activities for the following months. Scouts should bring their Scout Handbook to Troop meetings; we will use them for advancement activities.
Each month except July, we have a weekend outing. Note that even though we do not have Troop meetings during the summer there are outings in June and August. In July, we attend a week-long Scout camp rather than having a weekend outing. As soon as scouts turn in their registration form for Scouts and completed their joining requirements they are eligible to attend monthly outings.
