Troop 394, located on Vandenberg Air Force Base CA was founded in July 1959.  Over the years, it has been sponsored by many different organizations, to include the 394th ICBM Test Maintenance Squadron, the 30th Maintenance Squadron, the 30th Services Squadron, and currently by American Legion Post 125.  We typically have between 15 and 20 scouts; so as troops go, we are on the smaller side!

We meet in building 16111, room 5, on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m.  During our meetings which are planned by the scouts themselves, we work on Scout skills, advancement, merit badges, and have interpatrol activities. We also plan for upcoming campouts and outings.  Please feel free to drop in and visit but contact us first to make sure we are at our regular meeting location.

    Parent Involvement

    Scouting is a family activity. There are many ways in which parents can help their son make the most of the opportunities provided by Troop 394 – and at the same time, share in the learning and fun!

    First and foremost, it is important that parents encourage their son to participate in all aspects of the troop program.  Many times this means scheduling other activities so that they don’t conflict with Scouting events.  Secondly, parents should support their son’s involvement by taking an interest in his Scouting activities.  By attending Courts of Honor, helping with advancement, and participating in troop outings, parents send a message that Scouting is important.  Last but not least, there are many volunteer opportunities for parents to help Troop 394 operate as a quality unit.  The adults who plan and supervise the many activities of the troop are volunteers and need the help of parents to raise funds, plan programs, organize events, and help with communication.

    Scout Law Monthly Focus - June

    A Scout is:

    KIND.  A Scout understands there is strength in being gentle.  He treats others as he wants to be treated.  He does not hurt or kill harmless things without reason.
