The troop meets every Monday evening from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. During the school year we meet at Pacetti Bay Middle School, Address: 245 Meadowlark Ln, St Augustine, FL 32092, Phone: (904) 547-8760, The Schools Website.. While the school is closed during the summer break we will meet in the banquette are of our charter orginization Memorial Presbyterian Church, Address: 32 Sevilla St, St Augustine, FL 32084, Phone:(904) 829-6451, The Churches Website. Scouts are expected to arrive on time, in full Class-A uniform, unless otherwise advised, with their Scout Handbook and their dues (if not paid in advance). See "Uniforms" on the next page for details. Meetings are held year round EXCEPT if the Monday falls on a holiday such as Memorial Day, Labor Day or Christmas. If a meeting is cancelled, members will be contacted via email and Facebook in a timely manner.
The meetings consist of patrol time, (for the patrols to organize and work on rank requirements), and troop time during which inter-patrol activities will take place at the direction of the Senior Patrol Leader. During meetings, we may also have merit badge classes, and scouts may also meet with the Scoutmaster for Scoutmaster Conferences, (required for rank advancement). Finally, Boards of Review, (BOR), also required for rank advancement, take place during meetings. If your son has any needs for rank advancement, it is up to him to seek out the appropriate guidance to get the requirement signed off.
Attendance at meetings is required for rank advancement. Each rank has a requirement specifying that the Scout be "active" in the troop for a specified period of time. If the scout has to be absent for meetings, they may not meet this requirement until they demonstrate more active involvement in the troop. If they are to be absent for a meeting, it is a good idea for them to let their patrol leader know that they cannot make it to the meeting.
