Join Troop 212!
Troop 212 is an excellent and welcoming home for incoming Scouts interested in the outdoors, lifelong skills, leadership, and service. Troop 212 functions best with a consistent number of Scouts at each age and rank; the long-term viability of the Troop relies on a steady and consistent stream of new recruits from committed families to replace vacancies created from graduates and attrition.
HOW AND WHEN TO JOIN TROOP 212
Fill out this interest form during the first semester of fifth grade*
Attend a troop meeting and campout in October and November, respectively
Confirm invitation** and intent to join Troop 212 in March
Start attending troop meetings in March/April and formally join; attend first campout in May and a weeklong Wilderness Camp in June
* One may also join in sixth grade on the same timetable; seventh graders and older should immediately contact the recruiting chair
** Occasionally the number of youth interested exceeds the number spaces in a given year. As such, priority will be given to siblings, legacies, MVPC members, and Cub Scouts who have earned the Arrow of Light.

Meetings occur every Tuesday 7:30 pm at the Moraga Scout Hut or Moraga Valley Presbyterian Church during the school year
During the school year, we hold a monthly outing (campout, hike, and/or service project)
