Our troop is chartered by Christ the Cornerstone Lutheran Church. Boys from all faiths are welcome. Our troop of 30+ scouts meets each Wednesday (excluding the 1st Wednesday) of the month at 6:45 p.m. at the Mira Mesa Recreation Center. Scouts meet in their smaller Patrols 2 times a month and there is a monthly weekend campout for the Troop.
We are a family oriented troop and have over 25 registered adults. Parents are welcome and desired as volunteers supporting the various functions of the troop.
What to look for when selecting a troop
When visiting a Boy Scout Troop we believe that there are some things that you will want to look for to help identify a well-run troop. All Scout programs should work toward the three aims of Boy Scouting. The methods are designed to accomplish these aims and strive to instill values based on those found in the Boy Scout Oath and Law. See the BSA Mission Statement, which goes into more details.
We have put together a list of items we think you should look for and examine when you visit a Boy Scout Troop. The Scout program is for Youth from ages 11-18, so your decision is an important one. Talk it over with your Son, then click here to see what to look for
