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.

A note from the T28 hosted service: Google has added a new "compromised password" feature into new releases of the Chrome Browser. Based on this new feature you may receive a "Check you password" warning when you log into our website. It means a specific username/password combination used has been found in previously hacked websites. The person that received that message should change the password for the username on the T28 website, and probably all other locations where that same password is used. People tend to use the same username/password across multiple website for convenience. At some point in the past, one of those websites was hacked. And this is why you would be getting the message.

Christmas Tree Lot - Cancelled

The Pacific Skyline Council will be selling Christmas Trees again this year. They are looking for Scouts and adults to help out with set up 11/25 from 8am to noon.

  • Youth under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
  • It's a great opportunity for Scouts to get service hours for rank advancement and hone their skills.

Sign ups to help during selling hours will be coming out soon. The council will need help with tree sales and customer interaction as well as loading and tying on the trees to the cars.

Cutter 50th Anniversary Walking Challenge!

Posted on Nov 16 2020 - 3:51pm

Pacific Skyline Council challenges you to walk 5 kilometers before Thanksgiving! Why 5 kilometers? Because this year we celebrate Cutter Scout Reservation’s 50th Anniversary (1970-2020). Walk one kilometer for each decade Cutter Scout Reservation has served as a fantastic camp for thousands of Scouts and families. Many of us would love to spend multiple weekends up at Cutter Scout Reservation or Boulder Creek Scout Reservation this month, and hopefully one day we can again but for right now get outside and walk! So, over the month of November we want you to stay Physically Strong by tracking your steps every day from now until Thanksgiving to see if you can walk 5 kilometers!

5K not enough? Try walking 50K, one kilometer for each year. Or try for the number of years Boulder Creek Scout Reservation has been with us and do 54K!
