Charter Organization

BSA Troop 212 is chartered through the parents of Troop 212, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization operated through the troop committee.

Troop Meetings

The Troop meets every Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Gig Harbor Elks Lodge. Everyone is welcome at the meetings, and we encourage parents of Scouts to attend the meetings and become involved in planning our activities. Cub Scouts and Webelos are also welcome so they can learn about Boy Scouting. At the meetings we do a lot of Scouting things, including:

• Discussion of Scouting fundamentals
• Learning new Scouting skills
• Preparing for upcoming outings and events
• Working on merit badge and advancement requirements
• Learning about outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and water sports

Court of Honor

Every six months one regular troop meeting becomes our quarterly Court of Honor, where the scouts receive awards they have earned over the past months. The Court of Honor is a family event and we ask for the families of scouts in the troop to attend Courts of Honor.

All Our Meetings

While a lot happens at the weekly troop meetings, we also have meetings for planning and coordination. Our regular meetings and their typical scheduled days are: (note that the PLC, Committee, and Advancement meeting dates are not fixed).

Troop Committee

The Scoutmasters and committee support the troop through many different roles. We are proud of the strong group of involved parents (and some grandparents!) who take the time to help the troop in different capacities.
