- Troop 874 meets every Thursday night year round at Glen Mar UMC.
- Troop meeting time is from 7:30pm to 9:00pm. Scouts are asked to arrive 10 minutes
early so that the meetings may begin on time.
- Troop meetings are normally held in the Spirit Center. However, on occasion Glen
Mar will require the use of the Spirit Center for a church function. At those times
the Troop will be asked to utilize alternate space(s) on the first floor, or on the
outside lawn.
- Formal Troop meetings begin the first week of school (late August) and continue up
to the week before Summer Camp (mid-July). Informal Troop meetings (attendance and
uniforms optional, no ceremony) are held for the remainder of the summer. There
will be 4-6 times throughout the year (usually holiday periods) when meetings are
canceled.
- Parents are encouraged (but not required) to stay for the entire meeting to assist
the scouts with advancement requirements and merit badges, or assist with review
boards, planning, and many other Troop activities, or just hang around and get to
know your fellow Troop leaders/parents.
- Most formal Troop meetings follow a similar format outlined below, but occasionally
the meeting format will be altered (whole or in part) to accommodate a special Troop
function (eg. Court of Honor, leadership induction, Order of the Arrow, etc.)
