Troop 89 is chartered by the Boy Scouts of America to the Lord of Life Lutheran Church in The Woodlands, Texas. The troop was first formed in 1988 by John and Sandy Sanders and Frank Fournier. Today Troop 89 has grown to 40+ active Scouts and has trained and graduated more than 70 Eagle Scouts. Troop 89 is well financed and operates at the Gold Level of BSA'a Journey to Excellence standard. It also maintain complete set of up-to-date scouting equipment including a new troop trailer.
Troop 89 is a boy led troop that teaches and operates by the BSA Patrol Method. The troop has several age-based patrols that range in size from 4 up to 10-12 scouts. We camp every month except August with June and July reserved for Summer Camp and High Adventure camping.
The troop is led by the Senior Patrol Leader who is led by the Scoutmaster. The Senior Patrol Leader leads all weekly meetings, camp outs and other activities. He relies on the Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leaders, Quartermaster and other scouts in leadership positions (collectively called the Patrol Leader Council) to help plan activities and operate the troop.
Supporting the scouts and the Scoutmaster is the Troop Committee led by the Committee Chairman. The Troop Committee operates largely behind the scenes managing the operations of the troop and ensuring that activities are well planned. They also manage the troop trailer, gear, gear storage, fund raising, advancement, finances, service projects and more. The Committee is comprised of many troop parents including the Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters. The Committee meets once a month, on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, to plan and discuss all troop business.
