A Quick History Of Our
Troop
Scoutmaster Terry Smith
 The
troop had been operating since the fall of 1987. They
initially met in different family's homes until February of
1988 when they started meeting at fire station two, which is
now the community theater facility on Moore.

The
first Scout Master was Mr. Gary Brewer, followed
by Mr. Bob McCarty, and Mr. Forrest
Broom who
provided much of this information. Next came Mr. Terry Tyler until he moved away then back to Mr. Forrest Broom
until finally Mr. Waid
Davis for a number of years followed by Chris Wilt,
and now myself. The fire department was the
chartered organization in the beginning, but the troop
quickly
outgrew the facility. By the fall of 1988 we started
meeting at the middle school on Mockingbird (there
was only one
back then). We did that for about a year, until Sandy
Lake Baptist Church took over our charter and provided
our meeting
place in the spring of 1989. In August of 2007 we relocated to Valley
Ranch Baptist Church in Coppell, and now have more meeting
room space than ever before.
We are still going strong with a
current membership of 84
Scouts.
Today
Troop 840 is
operated as a boy led group. The Scouts make the
agenda and
take a leading role in organizing all camp outs and troop
activities. The troop is 20 years old now and has been
graced
with
77
Eagle Scouts,
with several more on the way.
We currently run
a monthly outdoor program
consisting of camping, backpacking and other activities.
Our troop stresses boy leadership,
responsibility and an active program.
