We are located in Kingsville, Texas. Our sponsoring organization is the St. Gertrude's Knights of Columbus Council #3389. We meet on Monday nights from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. behind the Knights of Columbus Hall on General Cavazos Blvd.
On August 1st, 2000, we began our 47th year of Scouting. Over the last several years we have maintained a membership of 20-25 Scouts.
We have an active camping program. Annually, we attend week-long Summer and Winter Camps, Council / District Camporees, 4 to 6 weekend Troop campouts, and 3 to 4 O. A. Fellowships & Service Days.
We are particularly proud of our Court of Eagle Scouts. We have an average better than one Eagle for every year of service.

Where We Came From . . .

Our founder was Dr. Fred G. Leon, who served as Scoutmaster of our Troop for 23 years. A highly decorated Scouter, he passed away in the summer of 1999. "Doc", as he was known by most, used to say that when he was a young man he wanted to be in Scouting, but was unable to realize that goal. Later in life he decided to make sure that other young men with the same dream would always have a chance to become a Scout. We are dedicated to upholding his dream.
For more information about our Troop and activities, please contact Jim Presley, Scoutmaster of Troop 186.
