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.

Cooking Merit Badge February 11th 3 - 4:30pm

Posted on Feb 10 2018 - 2:55pm

The Cooking merit badge is an Eagle Requirement and provides great life skills.  Mr. Gum and Mr. Sarver are teaming up to teach this badge over the next few months.  It is quite extensive, and requires class work, team work, as well as individual effort at home with your family.  To kick off the merit badge they will present the basics of food safety and nutrition in a classroom environment. Please bring a printed copy or computer with digital copy of the attached Cooking merit badge worksheet.  The attire is casual.

There will be more scheduled activities for this merit badge announced.  If you cannot make this initial meeting, please email both Mr. Gum and Mr. Sarver so that they will know you are interested and keep you informed of future Cooking merit badge related activities.

Questions – Email Mr. Gum at petergum3@gmail.com or Mr. Sarver at steve@sfoupco.com.
