🏙️ San Jose Mayor's initiatives City service projects initiated by the Mayor's office | ⚜️ Council-initiated projects Service projects organized by our Scout Council |
SUMMER CAMPS
A week of camp every summer
Each summer the troop spends a week at Scout camp — earning merit badges, swimming, sailing, shooting sports, and building patrol spirit. Camps we've attended include:
🏕 Camp Wente | 🏔 Camp Hi-Sierra | 🌊 Camp Emerald Bay Catalina Island |
| 🥾 | EVERY OTHER YEAR · OPTIONAL High Adventure In alternate years, older scouts can take on an optional High Adventure trip — a bigger challenge for those ready to push further. |
WINTER SNOW CAMPS Bear PawWhen the snow falls, the troop heads for the mountains. Our winter snow camps at Bear Paw teach cold-weather camping skills — and deliver snowball fights, sledding, and hot cocoa by the cabin fire. | ❄️ |
