About Troop 9
Introduction - We have an active program run by the boys, but with much support from the adults.
The Scouts organized their own patrols, with elected patrol leaders and a senior patrol leader.
We go camping, hiking, canoeing, or caving more or less once a month, 12 months a year. Our program is active year round!
Scoutmaster - Our Scoutmaster is John M. Bruce. He can be reached by phone at (317)356-0328 or by e-mail at
scoutmaster@troop9bsa.org.
Meeting Place and Time - We meet on Monday nights at 7:00pm at
Irvington United Methodist Church,
30 N. Audubon Road, on the east side of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Uniform - The official "class A" uniform consists of a scout shirt belt, and pants of course.
Troop 9 does not wear neckerchiefs. The headgear is optional as well, but when it is worn, the hat needs to be a "Scouting" hat.
The preferred hat is the baseball style Boy Scout hat.
Dues - There is $1.00 of dues every week that we have a regular meeting.
There are no dues for Court of Honor nights, or the week of summer camp.
Dues pay for things like awards and other miscellaneous expenses.
Fund Raising - The only fund raising activity that Troop 9 does is Boy Scout "Trail's End" Popcorn.
The profits from the popcorn are split 50/50 between the scouts and the troop.
Every year several scouts pay for all or part of summer camp with money they have earned from popcorn profits.
