BSA TROOP 520

An Introduction To

“The Eagle Trail”

Located in Cedar Hill for over 60 years, Troop 520 is 90+ Boy Scouts strong, all on “The Eagle Trail”. Already, Troop 520 has had 100+ Boy Scouts that have attained the rank of Eagle and more are on the way.

Troop 520 is a boy-run Boy Scout Troop ("boy-run" means that the adult scout leaders train and encourage the boys to take leadership positions within the troop).

Troop 520's focus on camping and instruction provide a fun environment that promotes learning skills and attitudes that will be useful to you throughout your life.

Today’s scouting program offers so much to today's youth. If your son (between the ages of 11 and 17) has been involved in Scouting all along or if you're interested in what Scouting has to offer, come check us out and see why we think Troop 520 is the place for you to be for Scouting excitement and adventure, while learning the skills necessary to navigate “The Eagle Trail” to Boy Scouting's most prestigious rank-"Eagle"!

MERIT BADGE TRAINING

Troop 520 is a learning troop offering 4-6 merit badge classes every month, to provide your son the opportunity to grow in a number of different areas, while on his "Eagle Trail" quest. Troop 520 has 36+ leaders certified to teach 105 Merit badges, including ALL of the Eagle required Merit badges he will need to achieve his rank of Eagle Scout.

Ask our Merit Badge Coordinator (Tilmon James at a meeting or at: meritbadges@troop520.org) for a schedule of upcoming Merit Badges. Merit Badge schedules can be e-mailed to you or you can access the schedule off our website. Special Merit Badge requests can be arranged.

CAMPING AND HIGH ADVENTURE

Troop 520 is a High Adventure troop with monthly campouts and at least one High Adventure scheduled over the course of a year. Troop 520's most recent High Adventure was in June 2009, when the Troop visited the Boundary Waters region, just west of Lake Superior. Ask about our 2010. Webelos are invited to participate in some of our camping activities.

NOTE: Some high adventures require that a boy has reached a certain age to participate.

SPONSORSHIP

The First United Methodist Church of Cedar Hill chartered Troop 520 over 60 years ago. In addition, the church allows us to meet in their Family Life Center every Tuesday night at 7:00 PM. at 127 Roberts Street, Cedar Hill, Texas 75104.

WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW?

The leadership of Troop 520 wants scouting to be a fun and memorable experience for your son and your family.

With a shared goal to make a difference in your Scouting life and in our community, come and be a part of Troop 520 and experience "The Eagle Trail" first hand!!
