Who are we?
- Troop 663 was started 1999 to help the overcrowding with the original Scripps Ranch troop. There are now four troops in Scripps Ranch with ours being the second oldest. We have currently registered 32 scouts and 7 Assistant Scoutmasters (ASM’s) as well as Scoutmaster Jon Sivers and Troop Committee Chair Jan Lewis. We are lucky to have a number of dedicated parent members of our committee also.
Where do we meet and when?
- We meet the first three Mondays of the month at the Scripps Ranch Rec Center from 6:00pm until 7:15pm. The fourth Monday of the month is our Patrol Leader Council (PLC) which is attended by our patrol leaders and adult scout leaders.
What does our troop do?
- Our troop has an annual plan that includes a monthly camping and/or backpacking activity in addition to the weekly meetings.
- We currently have three different summer camp opportunities for next summer including one camp for newer scouts that is within an hours drive from here.
- We are a boy run organization and we utilize the patrol method as much as possible. You will see that our senior patrol leader will be leading the meeting.
How will your son advance?
- We work very diligently with the new scouts and offer two unique campouts specifically to help them with new scout skills – our Tenderfoot outing and our Path to First Class outing in May and June each year.
- We believe that if we can encourage your son to earn the rank of first class by the end of his first year of scouting, he will stand a much greater chance of earning the highest rank in scouting, the prestigious Eagle Scout award.
- Our young troop has had 9 Eagle scouts so far and we have 3 scouts will be Eagle by the end of this year. There are also 5 life scouts finishing up their last requirements for Eagle.
