When and where does Troop 90 meet?

Troop 90 meets almost every Monday at 7:00 pm at Easthills Community Church in Riverside. On some Mondays instead we have our Committee/Parents Meeting, that's about 5 times a year, or so depending on the schedule. (All parents are encouraged to attend!)
Also, once a quarter (4 times per year) we have a Court of Honor in place of our regular meeting.

How long has Troop 90 been around?

Troop 90 will be celebrating its 60th Anniversary in 2008, so we've been around since 1948. Check back for details about our upcoming reunion celebration!

What does Troop 90 do?

Troop 90 is affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America, and is chartered by the Riverside Arlington Kiwanis. As part of the Scouting program, our Troop goes on several campouts and other activities throughout the year, including a week-long summer camp. Our Troop also provides our community with many hours of service each month through the "Service Hours" that each Scout is required to put in for each rank of advancement.

Who can join?

Any boy who subscribes to the Scout Oath and Law and:

• Has earned the Arrow of Light -or-

• Has completed the fifth grade -or-

• Is between the ages of 11 and 17

Of course, to join Troop 90, it would also help if you live in our area.

What if I am not quite old enough?

Scouting offers programs for younger boys:

• Tiger Cubs is for first grade (or 7-year old) boys and their adult partners

• Cub Scouts is for boys 9 to 11 years of age.

Troop 90 is closely affiliated with Cub Scout Packs 90, 62 and 97 - a lot of these boys join Troop 90 when they are old enough!

What if I think I'm too old? What if I'm a girl?

Not a problem. Troop 90 has a Venture Crew (Crew 90, surprisingly enough) that currently meets right before the Troop meeting (6pm) on the second and fourth Mondays of the month (check the Calendar and select the Venture schedule for for specific dates). Venture crews get to do some nifty things that Boy Scouts are not allowed to do. If you are between the ages of 14 and 20, male or female, drop by and see us!
