Boy Scouts Troop 443 Spanish Springs

06/23/2026

A huge congratulations to our four Scouts who participated and the one Scout who served as staff in National Youth Leadership Training this past week. They all came back a little more mature (and tired) equipped with the skills to be better leaders.

While the Scouts in Troop 443 are comfortable and capable in the outdoors, they also learn about citizenship. Today four Scouts were able to sit in for part of a criminal docket in district court, meet attorneys, and witness our criminal justice system firsthand.

Troop 443 will be out there for free fishing day along with our charter organization, Sparks Sunrise Centennial Rotary. Scouts will be out to help untangle lines and assist with rigging hooks, weights, swivels, and applying bait. Hope to see you out there and good luck reelin em in!

Over the weekend, Troop 443 Scout Logan led the troop in working on his Eagle Scout project. Under his guidance, we refurbished an old fire pit to become the base of a decorative statue, installed the base and apron for a flagpole, built a new fire pit, and repaired walkways and drainage paths at the Eagle Meadows area of Galena Creek Park. This area is heavily used by the community in the warmer months, and will be put to work very soon.

Logan would like to thank Ranger Bob and Ranger Anthony with Washoe County Regional Parks and Open Space, The Home Depot Spanish Springs and South Reno, The Flag Store, Sign & Banner, Reno Rock, the Schilling Family, and all of the Troop 443 families who helped make his project a success.

Congratulations, Logan. We are all very proud of you, and cannot wait to later welcome you to the Eagle’s Nest

The boys travelled out to Unionville for a long weekend filled with fishing and cooking. Several Scouts finished their fishing merit badge by cooking their catfish and trout, and the long weekend provided an opportunity for both a chili cook off and a Mexican food fiesta.

The troop recently welcomed three new scouts, crossing over from our Cub Scout pack. This past weekend we took the new scouts on their first troop campout. They learned to use the axe and saw, went on a hike, ate with the patrols, and participated in their first scoutmaster conferences. Welcome to the troop, we can’t wait to share the adventure with you.

Today 13 Scouts worked on eight merit badges, most Eagle rank required. Great job, Scouts. And thanks to the leaders for spending their Saturday to benefit the troop.

The troop also thanks Lord of Mercy Lutheran Church for the use of their building.

The boys took advantage of the warm weather this week to get the trailer and gear ready for a full season of camping. All of the gear is organized, cleaned, and repaired so they are prepared for their adventures.
