Why Join the Troop?

Troop 244 has a motto: Troop 244 Does More! That’s more than a motto, it’s our way of life. Our meetings are filled with activities that will help you advance in rank and have fun at the same time. We have about ten campouts each year, and a week of camp each summer. Our older scouts have opportunities to participate in high adventures every year.

Browse our calendar and photo gallery, and you’ll see our troop camping, hiking, climbing, sailing, canoeing, rafting, swimming, snorkeling, luging, and generally having a great time, all while learning important life skills and growing to be tomorrow’s leaders.

We are sponsored by the Pathfinder Church (formerly known as Portage First United Methodist Church) and are governed by the Boy Scouts of America. Troop 244 is a member of the Pathfinder District of the Southwest Michigan Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
