We are preparing for our at-least-yearly survival camp out. On our survival camp outs we never know the scenario until we get there. We drive out somewhere an placed in a scenario where we must use our outdoor skill to survive. Learning to build a shelter is important. We don’t know what the scenario is, but we know we will not have tents and the forecast calls for snow. (Yes, we camp in the snow, or rain, or heat.) Here, our younger scouts are learning to use lashings to build their shelters.
Hey This Will Blow Your Mind
Hey everybody the new troop 545 website is up and ready for the public! You will be amazed on how the new design makes it so much easier to use. If you have an idea about things we need to include or post let me know. Keep checking in on the website to look at news, calendar, and information. Check out how many 545 members have earned the rank of Eagle Scout! Thanks a lot!

With several B.S.A. Trained Range-masters, Our Troop participates in a few shooting events each year. We had our own event in October. We are learning gun safety, how to aim, and getting in a little shooting practice with the rifle on this outing.
There is a little place outside of Leaky, Texas, where we had a great camp with a couple of days of adventure.
Most of us have insisted upon this since Tiger Cubs, but it is official now. this from the B.S.A. website:
Effective Oct. 1, 2013, the official stance on the Boy Scouts of America’s uniform policy is that shirts are to be worn tucked in, regardless of whether the wearer is a Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, Venturer, or adult Scouter. All Sea Scout uniforms are designed to be tucked in except youth dress whites and youth dress blues. In the past, guidelines have simply stated the uniform wearer should be neat in appearance. Neatness includes tucking in the shirt. This update will appear in related resources, such as the uniform inspection sheets, as they are revised and printed.
