Welcome to Troop 50 in Palo Alto California!
Established more than 75 years ago, Troop 50 is a small BSA troop sponsored by the First Methodist Church in Palo Alto, CA. For us, scouting is an opportunity to build a strong community -- one that encourages individual growth, service, and, of course, lots of fun. Our outings include 50-miler backpacking trips in the Sierras, rafting on the South Fork of the American River, skiing at Sugar Bowl, hiking in Yosemite, and lots of local camping trips.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the number of group events and outdoor trips we can organize is somewhat limited. At the moment, we are doing what we can, but we look forward to the summer when we expect that more opportunities for outdoor activities will be made available. You can find a list of these tentative summer plans below. Also, check out the others parts of the website to see examples of our past adventures.
