Welcome to Troop 418’s meeting! Our troop meetings are the heart of our scouting experience, where scouts come together to learn, plan, and connect. Held regularly, these meetings are filled with hands-on activities, skill-building sessions, and planning for upcoming outdoor adventures. It's a time for scouts to work on rank advancements, develop leadership skills, and collaborate on service projects—all in a fun and supportive environment. Whether you're looking to learn something new, prepare for the next campout, or just enjoy time with fellow scouts, our meetings are a great place to be.
