The Troop meets Thursday evenings at the Thurmont Scouting, Inc. building at 26 Elm Street in Thurmont. Meeting times are 6:45pm to 7:00pm for pre-opening activities which include skill tests, equipment checks and turn-in, chit-chat and other non-meeting functions.  Between 7:00pm and 8:30pm is the regular meeting, and then the service patrol and the Patrol Leader's Council usually have after meeting duties between 8:30pm and 8:45pm.
