Welcome to Scout Troop 28

Proudly Scouting Since 1950

For over sixty years, Troop 28 has been building young men of excellent character through Scouting. We stress leadership, personal responsibility, fun, friendship and outdoor adventures. 

Youth who have earned the Arrow of Light rank and are at least 10 years old, or have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10, or who are 11, but not yet 18 years old are welcome to join Troop 28.

For grades K - 5, contact Burlingame or Hillsborough CUB SCOUT Packs. 1) https://www.troopwebhostcs.org/Pack128Burlingame/Index.htm  2) https://www.facebook.com/hillsboroughcubs Pack 58

We are grateful to be sponsored by Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church, 415 El Camino Real, Burlingame. Our troop meetings are generally held the first and third Monday of each month, from 7 - 8:15 pm.  Click on Contact Us if you're interested in learning more about Troop 28 or would like to attend one of our meetings.

Our troop is Scout-led, and our adult staff is highly trained. Our emphasis is on quality, not quantity, and we achieve good results by having the parents of our Scouts reinforce the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law at home.  Our parent group has high participation in providing the scaffolding for the scouts to build the program on.

Our troop is engaged in camping, hiking, backpacking, river rafting, skiing and service projects. We practice the patrol method, and emphasize creating experiences that are both meaningful and memorable.  Our troop culture practices what we call the straight A’s: attendance, appearance, activity, advancement, accountability, and awards.

Trip Postponed: Backpacking/Camping at Point Reyes

Posted on Jan 18 2023 - 5:56pm

Troop 28 will backpack to Wildcat Camp along the Coast Trail from PaloMarin Trailhead. The hike is approx. 5 miles each way. This is one of the nicest stretches of trail in northern California, making the hike as much fun as the camp-out. We are also allowed to have a campfire on the beach.

Check out our Wildcat Flip a gram from 2015: https://flipagram.com/f/ggOjAu6MEn

Backpack/Gear check-out will happen. Date TBD.

Please email or call Dr. Clark with any questions.

Wildcat Camp's seven campsites are the closest to the ocean of all the sites at Point Reyes. The closest attraction to Wildcat Camp is Alamere Falls - a waterfall that pours into the Pacific all year.
