Welcome

Welcome to Scouts BSA Troop 4640.  We are the first Scouts BSA troop for girls being formed in Pearland, TX.  We are chartered out Pearland First United Methodist Church, who also charters Scouts BSA Troop 464 (for boys), Venture Crew 464 and Family Cub Scout Pack 463.

Troop 4640 meets at First United Methodist Church in Pearland, near FM 518 (Broadway) and Hwy 35 (Main St).  The church is located at 2314 N. Grand Blvd., and meets in the MFC (yellow) building facing Grand Blvd.

Our meetings are on Tuesdays, from 7:00pm – 8:30pm, and we welcome any family interested in joining to visit a meeting at any time.

Since our founding on February 1st (the first day that girls across the country could join Scouts BSA) the Troop 4640 has grown to almost two dozen Scouts, and we continue to add new members every month. 

All Scouts who join in the first year of a newly formed Troop are considered “Founders”.  We’d love to have you be a Founding Member of Troop 4640.

About Scouts BSA

What’s Changing? Click for larger image.

For the first time in its 100+ year history, the iconic program of the Boy Scouts of America will be open to young women. Scouts BSA is a year-round program for boys and girls in fifth grade through high school that provides fun, adventure, learning, challenge, and responsibility to help them become the best version of themselves.

For more than 50 years, the Boy Scouts of America has had fully co-ed programs. Since their founding in, 1953 the Sea Scouts have been co-ed.

The career exploration Explorer program has also been co-ed since its founding in 1969. In 1998 the high adventure Venturing program was spun off from the Explorer program, and has been co-ed since its founding.

These lesser-known programs have been wildly successful in training young men and women to be leaders, while allowing them to explore interests and hobbies that appeal to them. In 2018 the BSA opened the Cub Scouting program to girls through Family Scouting and girls-only packs.

On Feb 1st 2019, the BSA will be chartering its first girls troops under the new Scouts BSA banner. First UMC Pearland is excited to offer this new Scouting opportunity to girls in our community.
