"123, 456! We're the troop that counts!"
Troop History
Troop 456 was founded in 1968, with a charter date of February, 1969. Since then it has met weekly, including summer months, at various different locations in Centennial, Colorado. The Troop’s focus is providing scouts a fun and supportive environment in which to discover and nurture self-confidence, self-respect, teamwork, leadership, and a respect and love of the outdoors.
Troop 456 emblem
Troop 456's emblem was designed over thirty-five years ago by a Troop 456 scout.
The Colorado State flag provides the background
Mt. Sneffels, 14,150 feet high, in the Uncompahgre National Forest of Colorado, represents the troop's 14er treks and the constant ascent of Scouts on the path to Eagle.
The "456" numerals in Railroad Roman font are from the Rio Grande narrow gauge steam engine making the Silverton to Durango run.
The hands represent the brotherhood of scouting in the left handed Boy Scout handshake.
