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.

Coyote Hills Bike Campout March 17th-18th

Posted on Feb 24 2018 - 10:46am

Meet at Bedwell Bayfront Park 1600 Marsh Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025 @ 10 am

Check out this YouTube of Troop 28 trip to Coyote Hills: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLUaOIv_wQY

Capture the Flag will take place Saturday night!!!

***We will follow the bike path and that runs on the south side of the Dumbarton bridge and cross over 92 above the toll booths and head north along above the bay until we end up at Dary Glen Group Camp site via fire road ***

Scouts need to ride a mountain bike with 26 inch wheels, road bikes (10 speeds) tires are too skinny to ride on the fire road into camp. (20 inch wheels are too small for this trip - please request to borrow a 26” bike in the notes section)  

Bikers will gather at 10 AM on Saturday morning at Bedwell Bayfront Park (Marsh Rd and 84) to ride across the Dumbarton Bridge.  After a ~10 mile ride, they will arrive at Coyote Hills, where they will camp overnight at the Dairy Glen Group Campsite. Parents and supplies will go directly to the campsite. We expect the group to return to Bedwell around 11 AM on Sunday morning.
