Welcome to Troop 845

Welcome to BSA Troop 845, located in Coppell, TX, and proudly chartered by Coppell Bible. As a ministry of Coppell Bible our Troop embraces a Christian ethos and are happy to welcome everyone to it.

We draw inspiration, and our number, from Psalm 84:5 "Blessed is the man whose strength is in the Lord." Our troop cheer captures our spirit: "We Are Troop Eight-Four-Five! We Are Blessed!"

Our Troop is highly active, we gather every Sunday evening at 5:00 pm at the church. We warmly welcome you to join us to learn more about our activities and community. Feel free to visit or contact us for additional information at info@troop845.org.

Troop 845 Recharter (2026)

Posted by phdenney on Dec 4 2025 - 6:01pm

Message:

It’s recharter time! This is our annual process to renew membership and pay dues for both scouts and adults. Things look a little different this year, so here’s what you need to know:

Two parts to your membership

National BSA Registration & Dues
Troop 845 Registration & Dues

National BSA Registration

How to Renew: You’ll receive an email from Scouting America about 60 days before your membership expires. Use the link provided to log in at https://my.scouting.org/ and complete your renewal.
Cost for National BSA: $85 for scouts, $65 for adults.
Timing: Many memberships expire at year-end, so some of you may already be receiving renewal emails. Others will renew based on your original join date.
Reminder for Adults: Youth Protection Training (YPT) must be current.

Troop 845 Registration

Renewal Date: All troop-level memberships renew on January 1
Action Needed: Please register your intent to renew by December 15 through the troop website HERE.
Troop Dues: $100 for scouts, $30 for adults. Pay online or by check.
Deadline: All dues need to be collected by the end of December

New Adult Registrations

If you’re registering as an adult for the first time, please contact Devin Fernandes for additional paperwork.

Financial Assistance

Troop 845 is committed to making scouting accessible to all youth. If you need alternative payment arrangement or scholarship assistance, please reach out confidentially to any member of our key-3 leadership (Rick Damuth, Phillip Denney, or Barry Woodward).

Thank you for your continued involvement in Troop 845!

Let’s make this another great year of scouting.

Are you a Merit Badge Counselor?

Message:

A merit badge counselor is one of the coolest jobs in Scouting. These volunteers introduce Scouts to a topic about which they are passionate and knowledgeable of. At the very least, a MB badge counselor helps a young person earn a merit badge and get one step closer to the next rank; and at the most, a MB counselor introduces a young person to a subject that could become a lifelong hobby or career.

New rules introduced this year require MB counselors to:

Be adults (18yo+) registered with BSA.
Complete a MB Counselor Information form.
Complete a BSA Adult Application (yes, again) with position code 42.
Have a current YPT certificate.

Even if you were previously signed-up as a MB counselor, you must complete the above to continue working with the Scouts. If you are interested, please complete the above forms and send them to Devin Fernandes or Phillip Denney via email; or drop them off at this Sunday’s meeting. Want to know more? Here’s some further reading about MB counseling. Want to know even more? Please reach out to our MB Coordinator Anthony Curran for more information.
