In the Beginning
Our Troop was chartered by St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church on December 12, 1996.
Troop Program
During the month of August, our Youth Leaders plan the locations and events for the next 12 months of our scouting calendar. Our main focus is to provide a mixture of numerous activities with a monthly focus on camping or working on Scout skills.

Troop Size
Our TroopMaster database shows that we currently have 24 registered scouts in the following ranks:
- Eagle
- Life - 4
- Star - 6
- 1st Class - 3
- 2nd Class - 1
- Tenderfoot - 2
- Scout - 6
As with many Troops, school activities (band, sports, homework, etc.) tend to keep some of our scouts from fully participating on a weekly basis.
Troop Meetings
We meet on Monday's starting at 7:00pm @ St. Martin de Porres parish hall just South of Dripping Springs on RR12.
