Troop 483 has been around for over 25 years. Our chartered organization is Christ United Church of Cypress . Troop 483 is boy run on the ideals and principles of Patrol Method developed by Sir Robert Baden-Powell almost a century ago. Our Scouts learn leadership by being active leaders while being allowed to make mistakes and learning from those mistakes to become better leaders.
New Scouts who join the Troop are put into separate patrols and are part of our First Class Emphasis program the first year, working with adult leaders and older Scouts that are Troop Guides toward learning basic Scout skills and earning ranks to build a strong foundation for scouting.
483 meets every Monday night 7:00-8:30 p.m. at CUCC on Telge and Huffmeister. Troop elections are held in March and September with Court of Honors the same months to recognise the achievements of our Scouts.
483 is an outdoor troop which includes climbing & rappelling, flat water canoeing, wilderness survival, fishing, hiking, backpacking, patrol competitions, camporee, summer and winter camps and more along with high adventure for our older scouts at Philmont and Packard. We camp every month on the third weekend with a PLC meeting the following Monday night.

My son will be crossing over in January and we are interested on visiting with your Troop.
Can you advise me if you will have a webelos troop visit and/or if you will be at WTSE?
Regards,
Sharon Hybarger
Hi Sharon! It was good to see Chuck at the training this weekend. While it always helps to know ahead of time if a group is coming to visit us, we like surprise visits just as much. It gives the visiting scout a good look at how the troop really runs. For your use though, we generally have PLC (patrol leaders conference) on the Monday following the 3rd weekend (usually following a campout) so any other time is good. You can send an email through this site and let us know when you want to come or just stop by.
Pack 3 attended WTSE this past weekend and several of the boys have asked to visit your troop. We plan to attend your meeting on Monday, November 3rd. We will arrive at 6:45 PM. I know the meeting begins at 7 PM. We have a total of 17 boys, but I don’t know if all will be able to attend. Do you need a firm number from us in advance?
Looking forward to Monday,
Terri Ransleben
Hi Terri,
Monday sounds fabulous. We’ll look forward to seeing you. Knowing how many are coming is a help, but certainly not necessary. If you have a rough idea of how many are coming, you can email me directly at dualscoutmom@yahoo.com and I’ll pass it on to our SPL (Senior Patrol Leader) so he can make any adjustments he needs to for a larger visiting group.
AMAZINGVery Interesting Site, You’re Pretty Good
Hello –
I was a member of Troop 483 briefly in the early 80’s, going from Webelos to Tenderfoot. I remember going to El Rancho Cima in 1983 or so and being very homesick!
Keep up the good work!
Very cool Marc! Welcome to the blog. Who was your scoutmaster?
