Troop 68 BeavercreekWhat Does Troop 68 Do?
There is lots going in Troop 68. We've got one Troop camp-out per month (usually Friday 6 pm - Sunday noon), 1-2 other events every month (e.g. trips, service projects, and Eagle projects), a Troop Committee Meeting the second Tuesday of the month (7 - 8:30 PM), a Patrol Leader Council (PLC) meeting every third Tuesday of the month (7-8 PM), Patrol events at the Patrol Leader's discretion, and a Troop meeting every Monday (7 - 8:30 PM)! Scouts preparing for Sea Base, Philmont, Northern Tier, or the Summit have their own crew events too (usually 1-2 per month).
