Troop 928 would like to start a uniform reserve for our constantly growing Scouts. If you have any Field uniform (Class A) pants, shorts, shirts, belts, etc. Please bring them to any upcoming troop meeting.

Mr. Panno will be collecting the uniforms and making an inventory list. The inventory list will be maintained in a spreadsheet and should a scout need a specific item as they grow we will be able to facilitate keeping Troop 928 looking sharp!” 

Please fell free to reach out to Mr. Panno with any questions.

Scouts - Can you survive a night in the wilderness in a shelter you build yourself? Find out November 13-15.

You will earn the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge on this camp out - if you pass all the skills!

Cost per person $35

Sign up today!!

Scouts attending the camp out should attend the November 9th troop meeting to learn what gear to bring and what skills to hone. 

(Adults - we are looking for lots of help on this camp out.  If you can make it with your scout, please do.)

January’s campout is going to take us to three different great locations. The first stop on Saturday will be at the Alamo where we will have a couple of hours to tour the Alamo and The Ralston Family Collections Center inside The Alamo and learn about its history and see the large collection of artifacts. The second stop will be Sea World where we will take a nighttime behind the scenes tour of the park and sleep in the dorm rooms.  After eating breakfast on Sunday, we will feed the Stingrays and Seals see the Dolphins and then travel to Corpus Christi and board the USS Lexington. Once onboard we will be able to tour the ship, see a 3D movie about its history. After dinner there will be a Patriotic Flag Ceremony with a tribute to all the armed forces and a historical scavenger hunt competition. We will spend the night in the crew bunks. Monday morning starts with breakfast and then morning colors. We will then disembark the USS Lexington and make the long drive back to Southlake. This is a great 3-day 2-night trip that will take place during the 3-day weekend/ Martin Luther King holiday.

Currently we are limited to 30 boys and 10 adults for the trip so if you want to go, please sign up ASAP. If more than 30 boys sign up there will be a wait list and the priority will shift to boys that will age out before the next time we go in 2029 If we exceed the maximum number on sign up every effort will be made to increase our allotment at Sea World and The USS Lexington.

Day of check-in before the rain.

Scouts can now earn the Artificial Intelligence merit badge and the Cybersecurity merit badge.

The Merit Badge program have long presented scouts with the opportunity to sharpen skills and explore new subjects.

Scouting America is adding the new badges as part of a broader effort to stay relevant in an increasingly digital world.

The new badges aren’t Scouting America’s first foray into AI. It launched an AI chatbot called Scoutly over the summer to answer questions about the organization and its merit badges.

Our Troop is grateful for every volunteer. For without them, our Scouts would not be as successful. We can use more volunteer help. You can work directly with the troop as an Assistant Scout Master or Merit Badge Counselor or help direct the Troop’s future on the Troop Committee. Don’t worry. We’ll find you a job. If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact the Troop Committee Chair or Scoutmaster.

Responsible for conducting the business of the Troop, setting policy, and helping the Scoutmaster and Scouts with the outdoor program and other planned activities.
