Troop 447 Scouts BSA

01/20/2026

Scouts from Troop 447- & Troop 1447, completed the first weekend of National Youth Leadership Training this past weekend at Camp Bowers.
National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth with leadership skills and experience that they can apply within their troops and in other situations requiring leadership of self and others.

NYLT is a six-day course that emphasizes hands-on learning in a fun, engaging environment. Through a blend of activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and games, participants will develop confidence and leadership abilities while working together as a team.

The course content is designed to build leadership concepts progressively, using practical exercises to reinforce learning. Participants embark on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership, which brings the leadership lessons to life as they apply their skills throughout the course.

As always if you know someone that would benefit from Scouting, check out BeAScout.org, or email JoinScoutingAmerica @ gmail . com

Last night at the Klahican Lodge (Order of the Arrow) annual banquet, two members of our district were selected to receive the OA Vigil Honor.
This honor is reserved for those Scouts and Scouters that go far beyond expectations. They have unselfishly given exceptional service to the lodge, council, and scouting outside their normal duties. What many may not realize is this honor is not bestowed just for those things they have already done, but also expectations of their future contributions; it's about the dedication they continue to demonstrate going forward. Only 2% of a lodge may be nominated each year.

Pictured below are this years Vigil selection. From Lumber River district (Japeechen Chapter, of our lodge):
* Andrew Longinett ( Associate Crew Advisor, Crew 4447 ) far left.
* Roger Ladd ( Scotmaster 447 ) third from the left.

Thank you for all you do for Scouting; well deserved!

Troop 1447 (girls)
Troop 447 (boys)
Venturing Crew 4447 (co-ed 14-20, high adventure)

Many of our Scouts are involved in band, sports and other extracurricular activities; Scouting doesn't have to be an either or program for the youth in our Community.

We have multiple Eagle Scout leaders registered in all of the above units to help guide our youth along their path to becoming tomorrows leaders.

Pass the word.
