Troop 152 is an all-girl troop located in Oakley, CA. It was founded in 2024. We meet three times per month and participate in other activities throughout the year. We hike, camp, volunteer in our community and we learn through lifelong skills together.
"Scout led" means that the scouts plan and run the meetings and the outings. The Scouts get an opportunity to plan, prepare and implement the Troop activities, with mentoring from trained adult leaders. Baden Powell, the founder of the scouting movement, strongly emphasized that development of leadership skills is a key aspect of the scouting experience.
We have 7 girls, with almost 100% attendance at every event.
Troop 152 is all about having fun while following the Aims & Methods of Scouting within a supportive parent community.
The parents of Troop 152 Scouts are highly involved and supportive - some of their activities include, serving on the Troop Committee, helping plan and organize outings, leading merit badge classes, handling a variety of troop communication and administration etc. Parent participation is required. The Scouts count on the parent community to enhance the whole scouting experience. We have also learned that when parents are engaged their daughters also tend to go further and get more out of Scouting.
