Boy Scout Troop 545

Boy Scout Troop 545 offers a year-round adventure-based program designed to offer and encourage effective character, citizenship, and fitness training for boys age 11-17.

In addition to camping, Scouts and adult leaders enjoy activities such as rock-climbing and rappelling, canoeing, target-shooting, visits to military bases, and more while accommodating the needs of today’s busy families.

Boy Scout Meetings are held every Monday Evening at 6:30pm at Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church at 2100 North Davis Drive, Arlington, Texas.

Our Troop’s History

Our troop was founded in 1986 and is sponsored by Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. Our Troop has enjoyed serving our sponsoring church by providing the Easter Vigil fire, Trunk R Treating booths, and more. Since the Troop was charted we have had 43 Scouts achieve the rank of Eagle. Our Eagle projects have helped local schools, churches, and charities.

Scouting Events

Our most recent summers have taken us white-water rafting, mountain climbing in the Rocky Mountains, and week-long camps in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Arkansas. Every year we try to squeeze in caving, biking, hiking, canoeing rock climbing, wilderness survival camping, outdoor cooking competitions, rifle and shotgun shooting events, and orienteering.

Merit Badges

Merit badges are awards earned by youth members of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), based on activities within an area of study by completing a list of periodically updated requirements. The purpose of the merit badge program is to allow Scouts to examine subjects to determine if they would like to further pursue them as a career or a vocation.
