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.

Help Camp Fire victims of Troop 316 & 770

Posted on Dec 8 2018 - 11:24pm

Our troop would like to help the families of Paradise Troop 316 and Troop 770 who have lost everything to the Camp Fire. We are collecting funds to buy “Zero Degree” down sleeping bags. Every sleeping bag we collect will make a difference in someone's life. One sleeping bag can offer warmth in the coming weeks or keep them comfortable on their next camping trip. Let's lend a helping hand!!

Two ways to donate:

1). $100 donation for each down sleeping bag. You can donate more than one. Follow Mike Hee’s directions below to use the troop website.

2). Pledge a similar amount to the Paradise Troop 770/316 “Go Fund Me” page which will be used only to purchase destroyed troop camping equipment.

Here's how you can donate via the Troop 28 website:

1. Deliver a check made out to “BSA Troop 28” to 2104 Davis Drive, Burlingame, CA 94010 (please also send an email to t28treasurer@gmail.com if your check is in the mail)
2. PayPal to t28treasurer@gmail.com
3. Credit card at our online store www.squareup.com/store/t28burlingame


Please donate this week to ensure we can deliver the sleeping bags as soon as possible.

Thank you,,
