Welcome to the home of Troops 1444 B and 3444 G!
Announcements and Updates
September 2025 Update: Court of Honor is September 2! Come be recognized for all of your hard work this summer!
About Us
We have very active Troops for both boys and girls, with over 50 registered scouts and 10 adult leaders. The Troops are run by the boys and girls themselves, with support from the adult leaders. Scouts “cross over” from Webelos near the end of 5th Grade (10-11 years old). (Prior involvement in cub scouts is not required, however.) They then progress through the ranks from Scout to Eagle, learning practical skills, filling leadership roles, and performing service along the way.
We typically have weekly meetings on Tuesday evenings, where we participate in learning activities and work on Merit Badges, with one night per month reserved for working on Rank Advancements. We go camping or another outdoor activity about once per month, and attend a weeklong camp once per year where scouts can sharpen their outdoor skills.
New! Read here about our Troop’s philosophy on Advancement and how to progress through the Ranks and earn Merit Badges.
Cost: Registration is done online through the Scouting America site. It costs $145 per year to join Scouting. All of those funds go to the National Scouting America organization or the local Council, but not our Pack.
Once you sign up online and are added to our Troop, our Treasurer will send you an invoice for our Troop Dues, which are $249/year (covers all basic program fees, including awards, as well us contributing to upkeep of equipment for the Troop). Individual expenses (e.g. campout expenses or weeklong program fees) are paid for directly by each Scout’s family.
If you have challenges paying the Dues all at once, we can work with you on a payment plan. We collect all Dues via Venmo (account name to be shared by our Treasurer), or you can write a check to Pack 4444.
Volunteers: The success of our Troops depends on adult volunteers who work behind the scenes to make it all happen. Some of our adult volunteers have children in the Troops, while some do not. Either way, your involvement is welcome. Support by Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, and Troop Committee members result in strong boy- and girl-led Troops.

For adult leaders, the Scouting America Adult Application and background check form is here: https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/524-501.pdf

Scouting America Health Form (parts A & B required for regular weekend campouts and outdoor activities, and A, B, & C required for Weeklong Camp)
https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-001_ABC.pdf
Forms A & B travel with leaders on every campout and activity all year long. Form C is required for any event longer than 72 hours or high adventure activities. All Scouts and Leaders need to fill out medical forms A, B & C annually before weeklong camp, and we keep these forms for reference for the rest of the year. Form C requires a physical and physician’s signature, so please plan accordingly. We collect these in June every year (preparing for weeklong)
