FAQ's
Q - Who is eligible to join Troop 941?
A - Troop 941 is currently welcoming all boys that meet Scouting America’s age requirements and are also Pleasanton residents. Due to the size of our troop, we are currently not accepting new applications outside of Pleasanton nor transfers from other local units. Interested youth within Pleasanton may be subject to a waitlist if membership exceeds 150 youth. In that case, another Scouting America troop may be a faster way to get started.
Q - What is the process to join Troop 941?
A - In order to be eligible to get more information on how to join T941, you will need to take several steps. The first step is to come visit the troop on a regular troop meeting night, which is every Monday from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM with the exception of the 1st Monday of each month. Be sure to introduce yourself to all the adult leaders and the troop's Senior Patrol Leader (SPL). Secondly, you will need to have visited at least 2 other troops before requesting information regarding registration. Lastly, if you’ve decided that Troop 941 is where you want to join, follow up with scoutmaster@troop941.org, and a detailed email with next steps along with a registration link will be provided.
Q - Did you forget your email password or can't access your Troop email account?
