Troop 483(Girl) began on February 1, 2019, and was one of the very first Scouts BSA Troops for girls to start in the entire United States. The girls were interviewed and made the local news. In 2024, FYRE’s Troop 483(G) merged with Troop 482(Boy) to form a co-ed troop as part of Scouting’s nationwide pilot project.
