Welcome to BSA Troop 845, located in Coppell, TX, and proudly chartered by Coppell Bible. As a ministry of Coppell Bible our Troop embraces a Christian ethos and are happy to welcome everyone to it.
We draw inspiration, and our number, from Psalm 84:5 "Blessed is the man whose strength is in the Lord." Our troop cheer captures our spirit: "We Are Troop Eight-Four-Five! We Are Blessed!"
Our Troop is highly active, we gather every Sunday evening at 5:00 pm at the church. We warmly welcome you to join us to learn more about our activities and community. Feel free to visit or contact us for additional information at info@troop845.org.
This Sunday, from 5-7:30pm, is our annual Christmas Party. This is always a special meeting for our scouts.
To help with logistics, please register if you plan on attending, both scouts and adults.
Three things to know:
1) Scouts should bring a wrapped present for our white-elephant gift exchange. Maximum value $15.
2) Scouts should bring a small snack to share. Last names A-K should bring something sweet, last names L-Z something savory.
3) Our scavenger hunt requires a driver and adult passenger with each group of scouts. There will be several groups. Adults, please indicate on the registration if you are willing to drive or to be a passenger.
REMEMBER: You will need your current Medical AB&C forms. Part C must be signed by a physician within the past 12 months. If yours are out of date, please get them done ASAP.
Winter Camp at Trevor Rees-Jones Scout Camp in Athens, Texas, is a four-day, four-night jamboree-style camping event for Scouts BSA troops, Sea Scout ships and Venturing crews. It is Circle Ten Council's single largest camping event and is staffed by Circle Ten's Mikanakawa Lodge of the Order of the Arrow. Many units consider it the highlight of their yearly camping program.
Units camp jamboree-style with multiple units in a single campsite. The chance to make new friends from outside your immediate Scouting circle is one of the key rewards. Food is prepared by each unit in their campsites.
Each morning, Scouts can work on merit badges or take part in special living history programs in the Mountain Man, Indian Village and Lumberjack areas.
Afternoons offer a wide-range of activities including competitive games, shooting sports, climbing, activities in the living history areas, horseback riding, wood-turning and more!
Evenings include special events like a Native American Pow Wow, Cowboy Action Shoot competition, Polar Bear Swim, or just relaxing in the campsite around the campfire.
We guarantee there is something for everyone in your troop.
Our January campout, January 18-20, will be on the USS Lexington, a WWII aircraft carrier.
We will leave CB Saturday morning and travel to Goliad State Park where we will camp for the night.
Sunday morning we will drive to Corpus Christi to spend the night on the carrier. We will be bunking in the actual crew quarters, eating from the chow line, and touring the ship.
There will be a ghost tour for those that want to check out areas of the ship that few people get to see.
Monday morning, we will get to participate in a special flag ceremony. Afterwards we will depart the ship and start the drive back to home, with a stop in San Antonio to visit the Alamo and lunch.
We are wrapping up Recharter season. This is where all scouts, registered parents, and adult leaders re-register with the troop and pay annual dues. We have now opened the process and ask that everyone complete the needed steps by . . . well now.
TO DO
To register for the new year, go to the RECHARTER SIGNUP on the troop website. Please register both your scout(s), and then any parent/adult leaders who will be registered members of the troop. We encourage at least one parent, ideally both, be registered members.
Pay the annual dues, using either the square payment links or bringing a check to any upcoming scout meeting. Annual dues for scouts are $185 ($85 National + $100 Troop) and adults are $95 ($65 National + $30 Troop).
Adults, ensure your YPT is up to date. We are unable to renew your registration if it is not.
If you are an adult registering for the very first time, Devin Fernandes will provide you additional paperwork to complete and you will need to complete your YPT training.
