Welcome to Troop 75!
Scout-Led
There is always a chance for a Troop 75 scout to be a leader if they choose. From Senior Patrol Leader, an elected scout who manages four groups of 12 scouts called Patrols, to Patrol Leaders, who leads a Patrol, to the Troop Guides, who help with advancement. We operate by the Patrol Method where the scouts plan and implement the troop’s fun activities, weekly meetings, campouts, hiking trips, and Summer camps under the guidance of adult leaders trained in scouting policies and safety.
Fun Activities
Scouts plan and lead a one or two night camping trip
once a month. Locations include Sunset Beach, Castle Rock, Angel Island, and Manresa State Beach. In the Summer, the troop goes on a one week trip to a scout camp in the Sierra Mountains, to have fun and earn merit badges. Every year we offer high adventure outings for older scouts such as a 50+mile backpacking trip at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, a 10 day canoe trip at Northern Tier, Ontario, Canada, and other exciting high adventure trips!
Life Skills
On their journey through Scouting, scouts learn skills both about the outdoors and life. Merit badges give them freedom to explore topics they are interested in.
Many parents and outside experts become merit badge counselors. Our scouts have the ability to choose out of 60 different merit badges, such as First Aid, Cooking, Personal Fitness, Engineering, and Personal Management.
About The 50 Miler
The 50-miler is a challenging and rewarding experience for Boy Scouts. It involves hiking 50 miles in a single trip on foot and
on somedays horseback. It requires careful planning and preparation. Scouts learn valuable skills such as navigation, teamwork, and perseverance, and come away with a sense of accomplishment and.
