Hey, everyone - sorry we had to postpone the hiking/backpacking campout this weekend, but it was the right call due to weather.  We are working on finding a weekend to reschedule in April or May - stay tuned.  Also a reminder that there are NO troop meetings this week due to RISD spring break.

Hello T444 families!

The spring campership application window will be open from March 9th to March 31st.  This will allow for awards to be distributed prior to the due date for the final Summer Camp payment.  We also encourage scouts to participate in the current Spring Flower fundraiser and upcoming Adventure Card fundraiser if they are applying for camperships.

If your scout is interested in applying, please have them submit an application via the online form.  Please note that scouts must apply to be considered for a campership - it is not automatic.

The campership committee will meet at the beginning of April to review applications and notifications will be sent via email.

For more detailed information, go to the T444 Campership Page.

Join us as we head to the LBJ National Grasslands near Decatur, TX Mar. 7-9 for a weekend of backpacking/trail camping (for the older scouts) and hiking (for everyone else). [Note this change from 3/8-10 you may have seen mentioned elsewhere, to accommodate those with a different Spring Break schedule.]

-Backpacking Group: Plan to bring everything in your pack and wear a good pair of hiking/backpacking boots. We will have group meals cooked over backpacking stoves. This will be a great shakedown hike for the Philmont crew, but is open to anyone 13 and up who wants to do trail camping.

-Hiking Group: This is open to all; the group will set up a base camp and do 2-3 day hikes. Cooking will be patrol-style as we normally do on weekend campouts.

-Cost will be grubmaster fees only.

-We will meet at the Scout Hut at 5:30pm on Friday, March 7. We will return by 4pm on Sunday, March 9.
