Welcome Visitors

Dear Scouts and Parents,

Welcome to Troop 840! We are honored to have you visit our web site and we invite you to visit our troop anytime. We meet on Tuesdays from 7:00 to 8:30 PM at Sandy Lake Baptist Church on Sandy Lake Road in Coppell.

Our goal at Troop 840 is to deliver the promise of Scouting: Adventure, Learning, Challenge, and Responsibility. The first part of our promise is the great outdoors. We go camping every month and we go to summer camp each year. Summer camp is a perfect opportunity to focus on mastering your Scout Skills on the Trail to first Class. Usually, we also have a High Adventure activity for our Scouts 14 and older, like Philmont Scout Camp in New Mexico or Sea Base in Florida.

We have fun at Troop 840 and one of the fun things we do is have our Buck Auction every May. Through out the year, Scouts earn “Scout Bucks” for various activities such as attendance at meetings and camp-outs, being in uniform, rank advancement and any other incentives deemed worthy of a reward. The boys accumulate these “Scout Bucks” which they then spend on camping equipment and other fun stuff. The auction is funded by our annual Chili Dinner at the High School in November.

Please look over our great web site. You will see all of our outings listed and many of the photos from previous outings. You will also find other important information about our troop, including basic camp equipment and rules and procedures we live by. We always want to do what is best for the Scouts and stay within BSA policy. That includes Safe Scouting at all times.

If I can help you answer any question, please feel free to contact me directly or anyone of our Adult Leaders listed on the Contacts page. I again welcome you and look forward to meeting you in person.

Sincerely yours,

Terry Smith
