Boy Scout Troop 60

“We are not a club or a Sunday school class, but a school of the woods.”

- Lord Robert Baden-Powell, Founder of Scouting

Chartered in 1959, Boy Scout Troop 60 has been building youth leaders for over 65 years.

While every Scout Troop follows the same Scouting Guidelines, each Scouting America Troop has their own way of meeting Scouting's Goals. Our primary method of building Citizenship and Leadership is through Adventure and the Outdoor Experience.

We LOVE Adventure! It's why most of our Scouts and Scouters choose Troop 60 over other units. We have at least one Primary Outing each month and a separate High Adventure Program annually.

Primary Outings are selected by our Scouts in August and includes everything from backpacking, cycling and canoeing to specialty events such as climbing, shooting and wilderness survival.

Our High Adventure Program works on team building, skills development and preparing Scouts for the Big High Adventure Outing each summer. Our Program cycles through Backpacking, Biking and Canoeing, so every year is fresh and exciting!

If you are looking for great Adventures and the Challenges that come with it, Troop 60 might just be the thing for you.

Adult Guided and Scout Led Troop

“Success in training the boy depends largely on the Scoutmaster’s own personal example.”

- Lord Robert Baden-Powell, Founder of Scouting

Adult Leaders and Mentors

We are lucky to have a team of dedicated Adult Leaders and Mentors.

Skills and backgrounds include Mountain Guiding, Fish and Wildlife, Cycling, Backpacking, Military, EMS, Hospital and Wilderness Medicine, Fieldcraft, Outdoor Ethics, Shooting Sports, Watercraft, Aquatics, SCUBA, Culinary Arts, World Scouting, IT, Sales and even Clamming.

Many of our Adult Leaders are Instructors for our Council Wilderness First-Aid, Winter Adventure Skills, Shooting Sports and Leadership programs.

Our Adult Leaders share their knowledge with our Scouts, keep them out of harms way and serve as role models as Scouts develop their own leadership and team skills.

Troop 60 IS Scout Led

Scouts learn how to work as a team and become leaders through experiential learning, watching older Scouts and Adult Leaders, through success as well as through failure. Our Scouts learn by doing.

Troop meetings are planned and conducted by the youth leaders, under the coaching and guidance of the Scoutmaster and our Trained Adult Scouters.

Our Annual Plan is developed by our Youth Leadership each August, while the fourth Tuesday of each month is reserved for our Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) meeting.

Troop 60 meets at St. Pius X School from 7:30-9:00 pm each Tuesday of the month. St. Pius X School is located in Mountlake Terrace just off of Exit 179 on I-5 at 220th St SW.

Scouts who live outside of our local area have selected Troop 60 over other units to learn leadership, go on fun outings and because of all the wonderful people in our Troop. We welcome Scouts from Shoreline to Everett and beyond.

If you'd like to see what a Fun, Scout Led Troop looks like, come by for a visit.

Adventure Educators

"The most important object in Boy Scout training is to educate, not instruct"

- Lord Robert Baden-Powell, Founder of Scouting

Troop 60 Instructor Shelters

We share our love of Adventure with others and maybe you've already met some of us.

Our Scouts and Adults staff many of the High Adventure Training Programs for the Mount Baker and and Chief Seattle Councils. We hone our skills by teaching as we prepare other Scouts, Scouters and units to go on their own Adventures.
