“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 BSA Troop follows the same Scouting Guidelines, each Boy Scout Troop has their own way of meeting Scouting's Goals. Our primary method of building Citizenship and Leadership is through Adventure.
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. 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 prepares Scouts for the Big High Adventure Outing in the 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
“Empowering boys to be leaders is the core of Scouting. Scouts learn by doing, and what they do is lead their patrols and their troop. The boys themselves develop a troop program, then take responsibility for figuring out how they will achieve the goals. One of our most important challenges is to train boy leaders to run the troop by providing direction, coaching and support. The boys will make mistakes now and then and will rely upon the adult leaders to guide them. But only through real hands-on experience as leaders can boys learn to lead.”
- The Scoutmaster Handbook, Chapter 3, "The Boy-Led Troop"
Adult Leaders and Mentors
We are lucky to have team of dedicated Adult Leaders and Mentors.
Skills and backgrounds include Mountain Guiding, Fish and Wildlife, Cycling, Backpacking, Military, EMS, Hospital and Wilderness Medicine, Shooting Sports, Watercraft, Aquatics, 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.
We share our knowledge with our Scouts, keep them out of harms way and serve as role models as they develop their own leadership 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 and sometimes through failure. They 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.
