Troop 285 - Overall Winner Golden Arrow District 2012 Camporee!!!

Welcome to the website for Troop 285 in Plano, Texas, chartered by St Mark Catholic Church. Scouts, leaders and parents can login to our site and view the troop calendar, troop and patrol rosters, photo books and send email to the entire troop or separate groups such as patrols or leaders. Our website requires authorized users to login. By making the site restricted we are able to post personal information available to all our members. A scout can see his individual activity report status from TroopMaster software on this site as well as all contact information for every member of our troop. We have group email addresses set up for every patrol to assist Patrol Leaders and members in communicating within their group. In addition there are many links available to help our members locate scouting sites such as summer camps, High Adventure bases, maps and other sites of interest to scouts. If you are interested in learning more about Troop 285 visit the "About Us" section or click on "Contact Us" and send an inquiry.

Hey Scouts and Adults, we have some upcoming campout involving aquatics: Canoe Skills (Up in the Trees), Family Canoe Trip, and summer camp (Camp Hale). Before participating in these events, we need to hold our annual Swim Check to pass the BSA Swim test. Scouts and Adults (adult testing is needed for summer camp, but it never hurts for the other campouts), who plan to get in the water during these campouts, please make plans to attend.
