During the school year, the meetings usually start at 7:00. The Troop is currently meeting at the Sierra High School. When Public Schools are closed (holidays, snow days, etc.), there is no meeting. Special events (Courts of Honor, Recognition Nights, Family BBQ, etc.) usually start at 6:30 since food is often involved! We often have these at locations other than our Troop meeting place. Meeting times and locations are subject to change. (Check the calendar, it's usually up-to-date.) Useful Items: Here are some helpful items (all in PDF format, except where noted):
