*	Uniformed, Balanced Troop We are a uniformed troop, comprised of Scouts of every age, 11 to 17, and every rank.  Annual Scout dues are $60.  A "High Adventure" account is maintained for each Scout, into which the Scout's fundraising profits are deposited.  Fundraising includes the Indian Nations Council Popcorn Campaign, holiday wreaths and candles, "peelers" (discount restaurant stickers), candy, spghetti suppers, recycling -- and more!
*	Completely Outfitted Troop 999 owns and maintains Eureka Timberline tents, dining flys, cooking gear, two (2) Troop trailers, twelve (12) canoes (plus canoe trailers), and its own carefully maintained rifles and shotguns.  Scouts supply their own packs, sleeping gear and cooking utensils... and PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)!
*	Patrols Troop 999 has from four to six active Patrols (depends upon enrollment, which changes from year to year), plus Troop Junior Leadership coordinated by an active Patrol Leader's Council.
*	Junior Leader Training Conducted early in each term of officers.  Officers are elected twice a year.
*	Annual Planning Troop Operations Workshop (T.O.W.) is part of our first campout each year (January).  T.O.W. provides all Troop members an opportunity to contribute to the annual plan -- where to go, what to do.
*	Advanced Junior Leader Training Our Junior Leaders are encouraged to participate in Indian Nations Council's PineTree Training.  Several our our Scouts have attended the Philmont National Junior Leader Instructor Camp.
*	Adult Participation & Support  Troop 999 asks that at least one parent from each Scout family become a registered leader (attend Basic Scout Leader Training).  Many of our adult leaders have earned Wood Badge; many are certified in CPR, First Aid, SCUBA, Leave No Trace, Shooting Sports, Climbing & Rappeling, and Aquatics -- which broadens the scope of what we can do and where we can camp.  Most of our Merit Badge counselors are Troop 999 adult members.
*	Order of the Arrow Troop 999 Arrowmen and adults are members of Ta Tsu Hwa Lodge #138. Click HERE for Ta Tsu Hwa Lodge info
*	Arrow of Light Cub Packs and Webelos leaders note!  Our superb team handles AOL ceremonies with skill and solemnity.  Information/scheduling upon request.
