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.

Merit Badge Opportunities

Posted by phdenney on Sep 4 2025 - 8:39pm
We are excited to offer Scouts the opportunity to earn the Personal Fitness merit badge—an Eagle-required badge. Scouts will be expected to demonstrate progress toward various fitness goals over a three-month period.

Check-in and evaluation sessions will be held on the following Sundays, from 4:00–5:00 PM at Andrew Brown Park East (near the Pavilion):

  • September 7, 2025

  • October 5, 2025

  • November 2, 2025

  • December 7, 2025

To complete the merit badge, Scouts must attend all four sessions.

To ensure meaningful coaching and feedback, this class will be limited to six participants. If interest exceeds available spots, priority will be given to Scouts who are closer to needing this badge for rank advancement. Similar sessions may be offered in the future if there is enough interest.

Thank you to our amazing instructors!

Training for Scouts: NYLT 2024

Posted by fsaenz on Jun 13 2024 - 1:40pm
THE COURSE: National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is an exciting, action-packed six-day council-level program designed to provide Scouts in troops, crews, and ships with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home units and other situations demanding leadership of self and others. The course is designed for Scouts BSA members who are at least 13 years old; are First Class rank or above; and have successfully completed ILST training.

WHAT YOU WILL DO AND LEARN AT NYLT: NYLT: is filled with activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and camping in a team and model unit environment. Participants learn and practice skills that are valuable at home, church, school, work, and the Scouting unit. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ leadership skills much faster. These skills come alive during the week as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.

THE RESULTS: First of all, you will have a lot of fun at NYLT! Activities are built around the idea that Scouting is “a game with a purpose.” You will meet new friends that share your interest in Scouting and in becoming a stronger leader. Participants report that NYLT helped them develop better communication skills, greater ability to coordinate activities and program, increased understanding of the roles and skills of a leader, and many more.

Is Your YPT Current?

Posted by fsaenz on Jun 13 2024 - 11:33am

The Troop needs all registered adults whose YPT is expired, or is about to expire, to renew it to be eligible for recharter.

YPT is the most elemental of BSA trainings for all adults, registered and non-registered, must complete in order to participate in any Scouting activity.  YPT is necessary to maintain our Troop status and it's required for all adults that participate in Scouting activities.  Adults with missing or expired YPT are not allowed to attend campouts or any event involving Scouts.

You can take the course online at My.Scouting.org and should only take a little over an hour. Send your completed certificate to training@troop845.org.
