St. Mark's Church and Boy Scout
Troop 44 have shared a long, mutually beneficial relationship
over the last 80 years, interrupted by only one year during
World War II when there were no leaders available. Boy Scout
Troop 44 is one of the longest continuously chartered scouting
organizations in Glen Ellyn.
We consider the "outing"
part of "Scouting" crucial
to maintain scout interest and activity. To accomplish this,
we sponsor a trip every month of the year except August. Each
camping trip involves a variety of outdoor activities including
canoeing, swimming, fishing, hiking, orienteering, first aid,
fire safety, nature, wildlife studies, pioneering, and cooking.
We provide this exciting program to the boys of Glen Ellyn and
surrounding communities.
Every summer, the troop sponsors a week-long Summer Camp and
one or more one-week or two-week high adventure trips. Typical
themes for the high adventure trips include backpacking, canoeing,
kayaking, biking, and rafting.
The troop has been a service-oriented member of Glen Ellyn and
the surrounding communities throughout its history. We actively
participate in community service projects as a troop, and attempt
to sponsor many service projects in the year. Troop 44's connection
with St. Mark's has been beneficial to the troop and the church
in many ways, with the troop providing support and assistance
wherever possible.
If you are interested in joining the Scouting program and/or
Troop 44, we welcome you to attend one of our Monday night meetings
at St. Mark's Church.
