Welcome!

Welcome to the Troop 244 Website!

Do you like adventure? Do you want to learn outdoor skills and know how take care of yourself and others in the wilderness? Do you want to lead others, learn new skills and serve those in need in your community? Do you want to cook over a campfire with your friends while breathing in fresh air and listening to the wind in the trees overhead?  Does hiking to a stream, taking off your shoes and jumping in sound like fun?  Would you dare kayak 50 miles down a river knowing you have been taught everything you need to know to do it? Will you feel proud after carrying a meal you planned in your backpack for 5 miles then cooking it for your friends on the trail? Will you build a fort in the woods and sleep in it, knowing you've built it well?

Troop 244 can show you the path to fly like an Eagle. We are seeking interested young men, of any faith from any school to join us in our journey. Visit us on Tuesday nights from 6:30-8:00 at Saint Pius X School to learn more. Please select "Send Email" to request more information.

 

Troop 244 Chili Fundraiser 2025 - Sign Up!

Posted by jjlinn5 on Jan 9 2025 - 9:24pm

Calling All Scouts, Family, and Friends! It's that time of year when the scouts come together to make hot chili, cobbler and cornbread to sell to our parishioners at Saturday and Sunday masses. This is an all hands on deck event and required activity for our Scout families as it serves as our ONLY major fundraising event for the year.

Order Now: Bypass the lines with our new Troop 244 online store, https://a0a9f8.myshopify.com, to easily and securely place your order. It's that easy!! Please share the link with Friends and Family. This will allow them to pre-order/pay, request a mass pickup time and even make a donation.

Help Out:

This year we are cooking more chili, cornbread and cobblers (cherry, peach and apple) than ever so your participation is critical. To maintain our low annual dues one scout and one parent/guardian from each Scout family are required to volunteer for one or more of the (54) volunteer slots available. Non Scout volunteers are also welcome with prior approval from SM.

Sign Up Genius: Boy Scout Troop 244: Chili and Cobbler Fundraiser 2025

  • All Cooking is done on the SPX Campus at Simmons Center Kitchen (inside) and Dejoy Front Patio (outside), so bring appropriate outer wear.
  • Scouts COOKING wear class B uniform, including hat.
  • Scouts SELLING Saturday evening and Sunday AM wear Class A uniform, including hat. Those who register for Selling time slots are to attend the entire session and not simply a single Mass.
  • Please SAVE and BRING your paper grocery bags to troop meetings or Saturday so we may package our growing online pre-orders.
  • Food and Scout Safety is Key- preparation guidelines require that hair be covered (hat) or pulled back and secured; proper hand sanitation and safety precautions will be practiced at all times.

Please utilize this Sign Up Genius link to register and NOT the troop website. This allows all volunteers to be tracked in one location.

The NeighborWoods Community Tree Planting program is designed to help restore the tree cover in Greensboro by planting trees in neighborhoods and open space. This program is funded by private donations and grants to Greensboro Beautiful, and is accomplished with the help of hundreds of volunteers of all ages and abilities working alongside City staff as part of a unique public/private partnership. Groups, clubs, families, and individuals are encouraged to participate in this event. It provides a hands-on opportunity to invest in the City’s natural environment, reconnect with nature, and work with other members of the community. You can feel proud that your contribution will continue to grow and beautify Greensboro for years to come.
