Meetings

Day, Time, and Place
We meet in Jack & Jill Preschool at 431 S Woodlawn Blvd, Derby, KS located right next to Woodlawn Methodist Church. Occasionally, we attend meetings in the church for award banquets and ceremonies. Parking for scouting activities uses the south end of the church parking lot. Meetings are held every Monday night, except for national holidays and days Derby schools are closed during the school year. The meeting begins promptly at 7:00 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m. It is recommended that all Scouts arrive at least 5 minutes early so the meeting can start on time. Senior Scouts and a couple younger scouts may be asked to stay 5 to 10 minutes after closure of the meeting to ensure cleanup is completed. In consideration of the adult volunteer leaders who also have family commitments, we ask that you pick up your youth within 10 minutes after the close of the meeting.

What to Bring
Youth are encouraged to own their share of responsibility by taking an active part in all patrol and troop meetings. Be sure that your scout brings their Scout Handbook, a pencil/pen, and a notebook to every meeting. Scouts will be given valuable information at these meetings, which they need to note down as well, so they can keep you informed. This basic responsibility will help scouts to grow in their knowledge of scout skills and show spirit towards their troop by demonstrating willingness to learn and participate. Cell phones should be placed on silent as they are not to be used during the meeting.

Meeting Activities
Troop meetings are planned and conducted by the youth leaders under the coaching and guidance of the Scoutmaster. This is part of the plan to help your youth to grow, to make decisions, and to take an active part in making the troop program successful.
