Welcome to Troop 1249

Who Are We: A group of Scouts bound together to have FUN and to learn some things along the way. We currently have around 34 Scouts registered. We originally chartered the Troop in 1965 and we are part on the Enterprise District of the National Capital Area Council.

Our Sponsor: We are sponsored by and operate out of St. Matthew's United Methodist Church.

Where & When: We meet most Tuesday nights from 7:30 – 9:00pm in the Community Room at the church. St. Matthew’s is located at 14900 Annapolis Road, Bowie, MD. Our campouts/monthly outings are generally scheduled on the 3rd weekend of the month. On the Tuesday after the monthly outing, we have our PLC (Patrol Leader’s Council) Meeting. Board of reviews for rank advancement also occur at 7pm on the night of the PLC.

What We Do: Being a Scout led organization, we execute the program that is planned out by the PLC. The scouts also take assignment to coordinate each month’s campout/outing. Working with the Scout Leadership of the Troop, we put together a program to help to develop good lifetime skills and values in our Scouts. The focus of our troop is to:
  • Offer scouts responsible fun and adventure
  • Train scouts in citizenship, service, and leadership
  • Maintain a constant outings schedule, with one overnight per month
  • Instill lifetime values and develop ethical character as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law
  • Provide an active advancement program
Some of our highlights for the upcoming year are:
  • Snow Skiing
  • Backpacking
  • Canoeing
  • Klondike Derby
  • Summer Camp
  • Whitewater Rafting
  • Bicycling
