Knot News is the news and information website for Troop 256. Troop 256 is a Boy Scouts of America troop based in Henderson, Nevada. We meet most Thursday evenings at 6:30 PM (the last Thursday of every month is reserved for committee meetings) at the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) Local 159 (commonly referred to as the Painters' Union Hall), which is located at 1701 Whitney Mesa Dr., Henderson, NV 89014.

This website is dedicated to sharing news and information about the troop and it's activities to the general public and to its members. If you are a past or present member of the troop, we encourage you to create an account and participate. If you are interested in the troop, we encourage you to look around at what is available here, and then contact us for more information, or attend a meeting. There is no fee to attend a meeting, so don't let that stop you from joining us.

At long last, the troop's scheduled events for 2008 is available for download. You can access it in the Special access Files and forms for download area. Due to the sensitive nature of the content there, that area does require administer approved registration.

On June 9-10, the members of the Scorpion patrol camped up at Mt. Charleston for the night. While we were there most of us earned our Totin' Chip from Jonathon Wright and the Flatt brothers. We also cooked hamburgers for dinner and bacon, eggs, and pancakes for breakfast the next morning.

We all took a six-mile hike through the surrounding mountains. The hike took us along a dirt road, which went on for a few miles then down a narrow path through the trees.

Over all it was a wonderful experience for everyone.
