ABOUT TROOP 1444
Troop 1444 is a youth-led Scouts BSA troop where boys build confidence through outdoor adventure, practical skills, leadership, and service. Scouts work their way from the Scout rank toward Eagle while learning how to plan, solve problems, support one another, and take responsibility for their own progress.
No previous Scouting experience is required. New Scouts are welcomed into the troop, supported by experienced youth and adult leaders, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.
Troop 1444 is part of Wasatch Front Scouting alongside Girls Troop 3444. The two troops are separate Scouts BSA units, but both belong to the same welcoming Scouting community in Draper.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Scouting turns curiosity into capability—one challenge, campout, and act of service at a time.
▲
Camp and Explore
Troop 1444 offers a camping trip or outdoor activity nearly every month, usually on the third weekend. Scouts experience different places, activities, and challenges throughout the year. Each summer also includes a weeklong camp where Scouts can travel farther, strengthen their outdoor skills, and make lasting memories together.
◆
Learn Real Skills
Weekly meetings and outdoor adventures give Scouts hands-on opportunities to practice first aid, cooking, navigation, camping, emergency preparedness, equipment care, and other useful skills. Rank advancement and merit badges help each Scout explore new interests and become more capable and self-reliant.
★
Become a Leader
Troop 1444 gives Scouts real opportunities to lead. Youth leaders plan meetings, organize activities, guide patrols, teach skills, and help younger Scouts succeed. Every responsibility builds confidence, communication, teamwork, and the ability to turn an idea into action.
♥
Serve Community
Scouts put service into action through troop projects, community activities, conservation work, and Eagle service projects. These experiences show Scouts what teamwork, initiative, and a willingness to help can accomplish.

HOW THE TROOP WORKS
Troop 1444 is led by its Scouts with guidance and supervision from trained adult leaders. The Senior Patrol Leader and other youth leaders help plan and run meetings, organize activities, communicate with their patrols, and keep the troop moving forward. Youth leadership elections are held twice a year. Newly selected leaders receive training and work together through the Patrol Leaders’ Council to plan the troop’s upcoming meetings and adventures.
Not every plan works perfectly, and that is part of the experience. Troop 1444 provides a safe and supportive place for Scouts to try, learn, adjust, and try again. Adult leaders are there to protect, advise, and encourage while giving Scouts room to take responsibility.
1
Join a Patrol
A patrol gives each Scout a small team in which to belong, contribute, plan, and practice leadership.
2
Learn & Advance
Scouts progress from Scout through Eagle at their own pace through hands-on skills, merit badges, leadership, and service.
3
Lead & Serve
Leadership elections are held twice a year. Scouts take increasing responsibility, mentor others, and serve their community.
Troop meetings include learning activities, merit badges, and a monthly advancement night. Outdoor activities are generally offered on the third weekend of each month, with a weeklong camp each summer.
