Welcome to the official online home for T444!  We have active troops for boys and girls with approximately 75 scouts and a dedicated group of adult leaders.

Our mission is to help scouts learn, develop and grow in a safe, caring environment and to help families bring up moral, civic-minded leaders. We will place the well-being of the scouts ahead of any other considerations and we will respect the needs of our constituent families at all times.

Nature Conservation Service Project July 27 - August 31

Posted on Jul 21 2024 - 3:02pm

Scouts, here is a nature conservation related service hours opportunity that runs between July 27 and August 31:

The Canyon Creek Wetland and Wildscape (CCWW) Project is requesting the watering of young trees and recently planted grasses. There is no water available at the site, so we will carry water in jugs. A volunteer shift takes about one hour and it requires a car and a driver for transporting the jugs. The scouts are expected to carry 1 gallon jugs and dispense the water at the Wildscape. 

For more information and to sign up, please visit https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090E4DAFAE22A3F58-50367343-nature

If you have empty 1 gallon jugs (not the typical milk jugs, but something with a larger and more comfortable handle) please consider donating them to this project.

Thank you for your help,

Alexandra Joshi-Imre

AUMC Summertime Service Project

Posted on Jun 17 2024 - 2:58pm
Arapaho UMC has been a wonderful host for our troops for many years, and we are always looking for ways to give back since they provide facilities and resources for us.
 
They have requested our help setting up tables and chairs for their monthly Faith and Grief gatherings over the summer.
 
On 6/19, 7/17, and 8/14, we need a few scouts to set up four large round tables with chairs and a rectangular table in the Youth Room.
 
The work won't take long, so please sign up if you can. If you sign up for two of these dates, it's a super-easy service hour (each counts as 30 minutes of service)!

T444B: Campout leads needed

Posted on Jun 8 2024 - 10:26pm
Hello parents! 
 
We have an exciting year coming up and most of our campout weekends have been designated. We are reaching out now to line up adult leads and adult grubmasters for the campouts. This is a great way to be involved without being overwhelmed.
 
Our campout lead and assistant lead will help make sure arrangements are in place and logistics are handled. We will have lots of support for you. It was one of the first things I did as a new scout parent and it was a really wonderful experience. 
 
Grubmaster is a great way to support the adults coming. You will be in charge of planning and purchasing food for the adults. You can cook, delegate cooking, split duties, etc. It's a fun way to engage with the campout and make sure we're eating well :)
 
Please strongly consider volunteering via the signup below for at least one campout in one of these positions.  We will help you with any concerns/questions you have:
