Our Troop meetings are held the first, second and third Monday every month except July and August.  The fourth Monday is Patrol Leaders Council (PLC).  If there are five Mondays in a month we have a Troop meeting on the fifth Monday also. We meet at the Hampden Township Recreation building.  The meeting time is 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  We try to have one camp out per month, even during the Summer.
