Meetings
Our meetings are most Tuesdays from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm in the Langston Hughes Middle School cafeteria, throughout the school year.
On the last Tuesday of the month, with some exceptions, only the Patrol Leadership Council (Scouts with leadership roles) meet to plan upcoming meetings, and the rest of the Scouts get the week off.
We also have merit badge nights built in approximately monthly which allows Scouts to work with merit badge counselors on various badges.
