Located in Stuttgart, Germany, Troop 44 is a Troop of American Scouts stationed in Europe. Whether you are new to Scouting, transferring from another Troop, or crossing over from Cub Scouts through Arrow of Light (AOL) Troop 44 is the go-to Troop to get you on your feet with your Scouting career. Troop 44 plans and participates in events all over Europe.
Our Troop focuses on learning and demonstrating responsibility, character, and leadership, all mixed in with a good dose of fun. Our Troop is youth-run, which gives the Scouts ample opportunity to learn and develop their leadership skills. We encourage our Scouts to be caring, respectful and to return a portion of what they’ve learned here in the greater Stuttgart area back to our community through service projects and by helping their fellow Scouts.

Our Scouts showed incredible teamwork and spirit throughout the campout. Our older Scouts weren’t just subject matter experts out on the water; they were true role models for our younger Scouts, teaching skills, building confidence, and leading by example. That’s the heart of Scouting: learning, leadership, and adventure.
