Boy Scouts

Bellevue Boy Scout Troop 438  

Have you thought about your child joining Boy Scouts? Now is the perfect time for 11-13 years olds to start scouting. No prior scouting experience is required. 

Please contact janinele@yahoo.com or fill out the information under ‘Contact Us’ on Troop 438’s website.  

Our troop meets on Monday nights, 7:30-8:45 in Eastgate. For more information, click here, Troop 438's website. 

Our program has helped boys develop their leadership skills and become outstanding citizens by allowing them to explore their interests through fun and exciting activities, serve their communities, discover their talents through youth-led activities like hiking, camping, and volunteering and create lifetime memories.  

Discovery is at the heart of Scouting. Scouts learn lifetime skills and achieve merit badges in areas such as cooking, camping, first aid, swimming, fitness, citizenship, communication, family life, robotics, engineering and many, many more!
