🇺🇸 Troop 84 in Service 🇺🇸
This past Saturday, Troop 84 had the honor of participating in Rio Grande Valley Memorial VFW Post 8788’s Flag Retirement Ceremony. Our Scouts joined in a tradition that reflects:
✨ Service to our Community – coming together in respect and reverence.
✨ Service to our Veterans – standing beside those who have defended our freedom.
✨ Service to our Nation – properly retiring our nation’s flag with dignity and honor.
Did you know? Scouting America is one of a limited number of organizations, besides the U.S. Government, authorized to conduct flag retirements.
If you have a flag that is ready to be retired, please reach out to Rio Grande Valley Memorial VFW Post 8788 or Troop 84. Together, we’ll ensure it receives the respect it deserves.

🎼🏕️ BROTHERS. BAND. AND THE SCOUTING ADVENTURE. ⚜️👬
Got more than one son—and they’re already busy with things like band, sports, or school clubs? That’s exactly why Scouting fits.
At Troop 84, brothers can grow together in Scouting, while still following their own path—on their own schedule, with their own passions.
🎺 One might be a trumpet player.
🥁 The other might love camping or STEM.
🧭 In Scouting, there’s room for both to shine.
Scouting isn’t about making kids choose—it’s about adding purpose, leadership, and outdoor fun to the incredible things they’re already doing.
✅ Shared values
✅ Individual journeys
✅ One family
✅ Lifelong benefits
Let your sons be brothers, be Scouts, and be themselves.

Sometimes the best moments are found in the shade of a pine tree after a tough hike. 💪🌲 Along a mountain side. 🏞️ Or at the mountain peak. 🏔️

🌄 We Made It Home! 🏕️
For the first time since 1996, Troop 84 Mission returned to Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico — and what an unforgettable adventure it was! 🙌
Our Rio Grande Council, Scouting America crew took on a 9-day northern trek to Baldy Mountain, pushing through the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountain foothills. We hiked through sunshine ☀️ (sometimes too much!), rain 🌧️ (definitely too much), and under a blanket of stars ✨ (never enough).
Along the way, we encountered mini bears (chubby squirrels… we think 😅), rocky terrain, and challenges that tested us in our preparation physically and mentally. But with determination and teamwork, our scouts conquered every obstacle.
And the reward? A breathtaking view from 12,000 feet above sea level that made it all worth it. 🏔️
This journey strengthened our troop, created lasting memories, and reminded us of what it means to embrace adventure, push limits, and stand tall together.
Philmont 2026, anyone? 😉

BSA Troop 84 currently serves as a youth organization for males between the ages of 11 - 18 for the surrounding communities of Mission, Palmview, McAllen, Sharyland, and Alton. Established in 1954, Troop 84 is one of many quality Scouting units available within the Arrowhead District of the BSA Rio Grande Council. Sponsored by Mission Lions Club in Mission, Texas, our troop is permanently located within Mission Lions Park and equipped with all the necessary tools to offer a successful scouting program. It is through scouting, we as youth leadership are able to instill a strong foundation in good character, responsibility, accountability, teamwork, community service, and outdoor adventure. Scouting first and foremost is based on the following:
The Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
The Scout Law
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Throughout the year scouts will be offered opportunities to take part in outdoor adventure such as camping, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, and more. They will also be introduced to many areas of citizenship, conservation, and safety by completing any combination of 135 BSA merit badges currently established.
Parents too have a major role to play in the scouting experience. Troop 84 welcomes parents to participate in all aspects of the scouting. From meetings, instruction, board of reviews, camping, planning, fundraising, merit badges and more. We all have a nitch for everyone no matter how small or big.
