Troop 566
Saratoga, California
48 Years of Excellence in Scouting
Trips and Activities
Here are photos of some of our recent trips.
We schedule nine weekend trips during the school year and two one-week summer camps. In 2004, we added a backpacking Mini-Trek open to all Scouts 1st Class and above. The last Mini-Trek was Saratoga to the Sea, starting at Sanborn Park, hiking over the mountains to the ocean at Waddell Beach. A group of six Scouts to went to Philmont in 2006. In 2008, a group went to Sea Base in the Bahamas. Five of our Scouts attended the 2010 National Jamboree.
The troop is boy led. The Patrol Leaders Council chooses the locations and activities.
We try to include three backpacking trips a year (most others are car camping trips), a snow camping trip or ski trip (these alternate), two peak hikes,
a beach camping trip, a bike trip, and a wood fire trip where we cook over open fires.
