Boy Scouts of America-Troop 328 (Grand Junction, CO)

Troop 328 serves boys who are 11-17 years old. We also have a Cub Scout Pack on-site for K-5th graders. Our Scout Troop is for all kids, ages 11 to 18.

Reach out to confirm our next meeting date and time - we meet most Monday evenings at Orchard Mesa Baptist Church. Meetings are at Orchard Mesa Baptist Church, our charter organization, at 6:30pm on Mondays with the exception of a few holidays, and all meetings are open to visitors. Troop #328 is a premier adventure-focused Troop of over 50 years, that enjoys weekly activities throughout the year. We camp year-round, with at least one outing a month, including a regular 1-week Summer Camp program. We do a mix of Backpacking, Canoe, and standard camping events. Troop #328 is a "Scout-Led" Troop, focusing on developing a love for the outdoors and youth leadership by giving Scouts the responsibility for managing many of their activities using the Patrol Method. Our Troop host a Monthly Patrol Leaders Council where the Scouts decide and design their weekly meetings and monthly outings. Troop #328 also has strong adult leadership. Our Scoutmaster Corps is filled with veterans of scouting and the US Military, and it works directly with the Scouts at meetings and campouts. Our Troop Committee meets monthly to manage the troop finances and guide the troop's direction. If you have any further questions, please post to our wall and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Troop campout for October included Valley of the Gods in Utah, Monument Valley in Arizona, visiting a museum to learn about American Indian Culture and work on the merit badge, and observing the Sand Island Petroglyphs. The boys got to try traditional Native American flatbread as a Navajo taco and experience the most iconic sights of the American Desert Southwest.

Scouts spent the weekend at Crawford State Park learning how to fly fish and visited Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park hiking the three-mile Exclamation Point trail. The dramatic and steep canyon walls with the striking pink veins running through the rocks was awe inspiring to say the least. Living in Colorado and getting to experience all its natural beauty is amazing! This was the first campout all summer that the scouts were able to have a campfire (due to fire bans) and they took full advantage of it by practicing fire building skills, cooking over the fire and roasting marshmallows. What a great way to spend the last weekend of summer!!

The troop took advantage of the warm temperatures this August to hold meetings at the lake and work on some aquatic skills and the rowing merit badge all while enjoying the water and having fun together. The chance to flip the boat for the swamped boat drills seemed to be the scouts' favorite skill to demonstrate!

Backpacking Lake of the Woods Trail. Scouts also did a day hike on Saturday to Cottonwood One to work on the rowing merit badge and kayak on the lake until storms moved in for the afternoon and put an end to the lake activities. Scouts then enjoyed some downtime and games for the rest of the afternoon. Camping with the smell of pines combined with the lake views along with peak season wildflowers just can't be beat!!

Hike to Independence Monument in the CO National Monument with packs on to prepare for the upcoming backpacking trip. Scouts were lucky enough to see several bighorn sheep along the way!

Congratulations to Lucas on earning his Eagle Scout rank on June 28th!! Lucas has been in scouting for the last decade starting as a Cub Scout back in 2016. One of the first merit badges Lucas earned as a Boy Scout was genealogy which developed his passion for the preservation of family history. He decided to incorporate that passion into an Eagle project leading volunteers to document gravestone information to preserve it for years to come and also to assist other genealogists in finding their loved ones through GPS tagged photos found on the BillionGraves app or website. He had volunteers working in cemeteries from California all the way to Vermont and exceeded his goal by documenting over 7000 gravestones with photos. Lucas also taught volunteers the process of transcribing the information on the gravestones. Thanks to all the leaders and mentors who have helped Lucas along the path to Eagle. We are all incredibly proud of the young man you have become!

Our troop participated in the local Elks Lodge annual ceremony featuring the evolution of the American flag over the years in celebration of Flag Day. Each scout was able to carry a flag representing a specific time period in history, post it, and salute the flag while saying the pledge of allegiance. Afterwards, the scouts led a flag retirement ceremony and retired multiple tattered and unserviceable flags with dignity. Great job scouts showing honor and respect to our flag and country!
