| WELCOME TO THE ADVENTURE! |
Troop 496 in McKinney Texas is a fun place to be! Our goals are to enjoy the scouting experience, establish fellowship among our scouts across age and interests, build leadership, and offer a broad range of enriching activities.
Our troop meets weekly, camps monthly, actively pursues merit badges, sponsors a variety of fun events throughout the year, and supports our community through volunteer activities. We plan a variety of outdoor and indoor activities to appeal to the varied interests of our scouts, - camping, day events, road trips (Houston Space Center, Longhorn Caverns, Red River Ski Resort) and high adventure (Sea Base-Spring 2007, Philmont-Summer 2009).
We are a unique troop. Our focus is on teamwork. Troop 496 builds comaraderie by working together and by appreciating the unique attributes of each scout regardless of age, rank, and background. Our patrols mix younger boys with the older, and newer scouts with more experienced boys because we believe in passing the wisdom of our seasoned scouts on to newer members. As a result, each patrol is richly diverse. This approach also enables scouts to assume increasingly greater leadership roles under the oversight of those who have done it before. The older boys mentor and guide the newer scouts, ensuring that all are given ability-appropriate responsibilities and opportunities.
For more information, see our Troop 496 Fact Sheet.
