Tuesdays at 7 pm at Trinitarian Church

Greeting from Troop 87.  We meet at 7 pm every Tuesday evening at the Trinitarian Congregational Church (our sponsoring organization) located at 72 Elm Street, North Andover.  We are a family-oriented high energy outdoor program focused on scout leadership development.  The emphasis of the Scout program is to promote and encourage learning, leadership, and fun.  In support of this program, Troop 87 adult leaders are present as advisors, insuring safety and keeping the program focused on scouting ideals.  We encourage all troop, patrol, and council meetings, weekend camping excursions, and day trips to be run by Scout leaders, not by adults.  In scouting, we believe the best way to develop leadership is to let the Scouts have as much freedom as possible; applying just enough adult authority and oversight to keep them safely focused on the tasks at hand.  As long as they are sincerely trying to accomplish the duties of their positions they are learning the rudiments of leadership.
