Wondering what comes after Cub Scouts? Come see for yourself!
Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts are always welcome at Troop 442. Join us for a troop meeting, meet our Scouts and leaders, and experience what makes Scouts BSA different. You don't have to wait until crossover to get started. Come visit us and see what Scouts BSA is really like.
Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts are invited to attend our regular troop meetings. It's a great way to meet the Scouts who may become your future patrol members, see our youth leaders in action, and ask questions about the transition from Cub Scouts to Scouts BSA.
Contact our Scoutmaster to find out when to visit.
A Den Chief is an older Scout who works with a Cub Scout den under the guidance of the Den Leader. Den Chiefs help teach Scout skills, assist with activities, encourage younger Scouts, and serve as a great example of what comes next in Scouting.
Troop 442 has Scouts interested in serving as Den Chiefs. If your den is looking for a Den Chief, we'd be happy to help connect you with one of our Scouts.
Don't wait for crossover to start your Scouts BSA adventure.
Once a Cub Scout has earned the Arrow of Light and meets the age requirements to join Scouts BSA, they can begin their journey with a troop right away. They can participate in troop activities, begin working toward Scout rank and future advancement, and start exploring merit badges.
Joining early does not mean giving up the Cub Scout experience. Scouts can continue participating in Pack and Den activities and take part in their Pack's crossover ceremony.
Why wait when you can start exploring Scouts BSA now?
Not ready to visit a troop meeting yet? There are several great ways for Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts to experience Scouts BSA and see what comes next.
The Sam Houston Area Council (SHAC) Trail to Troop program is designed to help Cub Scouts and their families make a smooth transition from Cub Scouting to Scouts BSA.
It's an opportunity to experience the kinds of activities, skills, camping, and leadership that are part of the Scouts BSA program while getting to know local troops.
Trail to Troop is a great first step for Scouts who are curious about what's next.
Scout Expo is another great opportunity to explore Scouting. Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts can meet Scouts and leaders from local troops, discover different activities and opportunities, and get a feel for the variety of Scouts BSA experiences available in the community.
It's a fun, low-pressure way to start comparing troops and finding the right fit for your Scout.
Come meet us at Scout Expo and say hello to Troop 442!
The best way to decide if Troop 442 is right for your Scout is to come experience it for yourself.
Visit a troop meeting, join us for an activity or campout, meet our Scouts, and ask questions. We're happy to help your family understand the transition from Cub Scouts to Scouts BSA and what your Scout's next adventure can look like.
