Scouting America
The four units share a meeting place and a charter, so families move between them without starting over. Most Scouts here grow through two or three of them.
Cub Scouting is where it starts. Dens meet by grade, and families come along — a parent or guardian stays for the meeting with the youngest Scouts. Expect pinewood derby cars, first campouts, and a lot of running around outside.
The Troop is Scout-led. Older Scouts plan the campouts, run the meetings, and teach the skills — adults stay in the background on purpose. This is where a young person learns to lead by actually doing it, on the way to Eagle.
Troop 1447 is a girls’ troop running the same Scouts BSA programme, to the same rank requirements, all the way to Eagle. It meets the same night as Troop 447 and the two often camp together, which makes life simpler for families with more than one Scout.
The Crew picks its own adventures — rock climbing, kayaking and swimming are all on the list. Venturing runs on the ALPS model: Adventure, Leadership, Personal growth, and Service. Members vote on what the year looks like.
Prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. The mission of Scouting America
The leaders of Troop 447, Troop 1447, Crew 4447 and Cub Scout Pack 447 are dedicated to protecting and supporting the youth in our community through the Scouting programs.
Camping is how it happens. What families come back for is what it does to a kid over a few years.
In the Troop the Scouts plan the trips, run the meetings and teach the skills. Adults stay out of the way on purpose. It is the part parents notice first.
Campouts, summer camp, hiking, kayaking and climbing. Scotland County and the Lumber River country are right on the doorstep.
Roadside cleanups, church projects and community work. Scouts here put in the hours where they live, not somewhere abstract.
There is no need to sign anything to visit. Turn up on a meeting night, see what happens, and talk to the leaders. Most families visit twice before joining.
