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.

The Troop Meeting scheduled for tonight at the Burlingame Recreation Center is CANCELLED.

Posted on Feb 20 2017 - 1:09pm

The Troop Meeting scheduled for tonight at the Burlingame Recreation Center is CANCELLED.

I apologize for the short notice, but the Troop was just notified by the facility manager of the Burlingame Recreation Center that the building is closed.

While I would normally just hold a meeting in a parking lot using flashlights, headlamps, and lanterns, the current extreme weather, and dangerous driving conditions, combined with “Ski Week,” would make the meeting exceptionally unproductive.

In lieu of holding a meeting, the Scouts should spend the hour reading (and discussing with an adult) the following few pages about “Leadership,” in their Boy Scout Handbooks:

Older Handbook (Ed. 2009 – Eagle on cover – see attachment), “Leadership,” pages 46-65.
Newer Handbook (Ed. 2016 – Scout canoe on cover – see attachment) “Character & Leadership,” pages 32-47.

The next Troop Meeting will be as regularly scheduled as indicated on the Troop Website (http://t28burlingame.org/), for:

Date: March 6, 2017
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Place: St. Paul's Episcopal Church
415 El Camino Real, Burlingame, CA 94010
