Troop 476Katy, Texas
Scouting America · Katy, Texas

Friends for the trail. Skills for life. A path to Eagle.

Troop 476 is a place where boys in Katy make real friends, sleep under the stars, learn to lead, and grow into young men of character. Come see for yourself. Your first visit is always free.

Welcome

There is a seat by our fire for your son, and a place for him in the troop.

Scouting is not a program you watch from the sidelines. It is a group of boys who hike the same trails, cook the same meals, pitch tents in the same rain, and figure things out together. Along the way they pick up skills, a little grit, and friendships that last for years.

Troop 476 meets in Katy and camps across Texas. We are led by the Scouts themselves, guided by trained adult leaders who put safety first. Whether your son is brand new to the outdoors or already loves it, he will find a patrol ready to welcome him.

What your son will find

More than a meeting. A brotherhood.

Four things every boy carries home from Scouting, long after the campfire is out.

Friendship

Boys who start as strangers become a patrol, then become brothers. The bonds made on the trail are the kind that last.

Adventure

A reason to put the screens down. Camping, hiking, fishing, canoeing, and a week at summer camp every year.

Leadership

The boys run this troop. They plan the trips and lead the patrols. Responsibility is caught, not taught.

Character and faith

The Scout Law is a way to live. Duty to God, to country, and to one another runs through everything we do.

The promise a Scout keeps

A Scout is

Twelve words your son will learn to live by, on the trail and at home.

What a season looks like

Real trips, real skills, real service. Here is the kind of year your son can expect.

Campouts under the stars

A campout most months, from state parks to high adventure. Scouts plan the menu, pack the gear, and run the camp.

Troop 476 Scouts learning outdoor skills

Skills for life

First aid, cooking, knots, navigation, swimming, citizenship. Merit badges open doors to careers and passions.

Troop 476 Scouts serving the community

Service to others

Conservation projects, food drives, flags on veterans' graves. Scouts learn to leave things better than they found them.

Come see for yourself

Your first visit is free

The best way to know if Scouting fits your family is to walk in the door. Meet the boys and the leaders, watch a meeting, and ask us anything. No uniform and no commitment for a first visit. Just come.

Troop 476 follows Scouting America's youth protection standards, including two registered adults at every meeting and every activity.

What parents want to know

Straight answers to the questions every family asks before they visit.

Safe

Two registered, background checked adults are present at every activity. Leaders are trained in youth protection, and no adult is ever alone with a Scout.

Affordable

Dues and gear cost far less than most sports. When cost is a hurdle, fundraising and council scholarships help. No boy is turned away over money.

Welcoming

Families of every background and faith are welcome. Come as you are for a first visit. If it is a fit, we will help with the rest.
