Boy Scouts

About Troop 828
For over 25 years, Boy Scout Troop 828 has served its sponsoring church, St. Laurence Catholic Parish, as well as the Sugar Land and surrounding areas.

Scouts from all over the community come together for fun, camping, service, and advancement. Youth in grades 5 through 12 participate in an exciting year-round program which helps the scouts develop leadership skills, life skills, responsibility, and a sense of adventure.

The troop meets in the St. Laurence parish hall every Monday except the last one of each month. The meetings are from 7:00 until 8:00 p.m.
