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.

Scouting Magazine - Nights Camping for Rank Advancement and Camping Merit Badge

Posted on Nov 30 2017 - 3:52pm

Dear Scouts,

Troop 28 leaders want to make sure you are aware of the “camping nights” needed for rank advancement and for the Camping merit badge.  This topic was discussed at Monday‘s troop committee meeting.  

As of January 2016 Scouts need one night of camping for Tenderfoot, three nights for Second Class and six nights for First Class all of these nights are outside of summer camp nights.  Most of the scouts that met requirements for camping merit badge at summer camp still need many nights of camping before they receive this merit badge at a Court of Honor.  Nights camping are now listed on the troop website under files.  Scouts will receive a partial on the camping MB until the camping nights are complete.

This article in Scouting Magazine can answer most questions you may have regarding camping nights:

Yours in Scouting,
