Thank you for your new or continuing interest in Troop 48. We are chartered by Bayside Church and are part of the Discovery District, Golden Empire Council, Boy Scouts of America (BSA).

The goal of Troop 48 is to provide a safe environment for your son to develop basic leadership and outdoor skills by following the program provided by the BSA.  We strictly adhere to the proven BSA training and development programs, advancement opportunities, and safety guidelines to afford your son the best scouting experience possible.

Troop 48 does not receive funding from any source. The Troop operates by collecting annual dues from each member and participating in fundraising activities. The monies collected cover Troop expenses including registration fees paid to the BSA, subscriptions to Boy’s Life Magazine, uniforms and accessories, advancement patches and awards, outings and events, equipment, maintenance and rental fees, training fees, websites, purchase of publications and office supplies, and donations to the Friends of Scouting.

 

To fully benefit from the scouting program, scouts are expected to attend troop meetings, outings, and service projects. Troop 48 has both mandatory and optional events throughout the year. A minimum 85% attendance rate for mandatory events is required for advancement and troop leadership positions.  All scouts are expected to conduct themselves according to the Scout Oath, Scout Law, Outdoor Code, and the principles of Leave No Trace.

 

Thank you for your enthusiastic support!
