Troop 488 currently meets at the Vacaville Veterans Hall which is located at 549 Merchant Street, at the intersections of E Walnut Avenue/Elm Street and Merchant Street. The Troop meets on Mondays from 7:00 pm-8:30 pm.  We are chartered by the Vacaville VFW post 7244. Charlie Fickes, is the Scoutmaster and has been since 2019.

The troop currently has approximately 25 active Scouts. Our troop’s program is based on a four-year rotation designed to bestow the scouts the opportunity to earn the National Outdoor Award.  All of the events each year are designed to prepare for a 50-mile event each summer.  Troop 488 has also made a focus on maintaining a high adventure program.  In past years, the troop has had scouts attend three of the four BSA National High Adventure Bases (Philmont Scout Ranch, Northern Tier, and Florida Sea Base). Summer 2022, we will have a group of boys attend Summit Bechtel.

The Troop is currently responsible for picking up recyclables from the Leisure Town Senior Community on the first Saturday of each month. The recycling center, located at the Vacaville City Corp Yard on Ulatis Dr, is open to the public to drop off recyclable plastics, newspapers, glass, aluminum, and tin cans between the hours of 9:00 and 12:00.

This is just a sampling of what our troop is all about. If you are interested in our troop, send us an email by clicking on the “Contact our Troop” tab on the top of this page; or come to one of our meetings.
