Activities
Troop 33 runs about ten campouts a year, roughly once a month during the school year, along with hikes, service projects and a summer camp. Scouts plan them with guidance from adult leaders.
Where we have been
A year of Troop 33 activities usually includes:
- Camping trips: recent trips include Yosemite, Pinnacles, Castle Rock, Mt. Lassen, Pfeiffer Big Sur, Joshua Tree, Mt. Madonna and beach camping.
- Backpacking: Point Reyes, Black Mountain and Henry Coe, often as training for a high adventure trip.
- Day trips and fun: hikes such as Mission Peak and Mt. Umunhum, bike rides, a ropes course, rock climbing, and a San Jose Giants Scout Night.
- Council events: the Gold Rush weekend and camporee at Boulder Creek, merit badge midways, and Order of the Arrow events.
- Service: Compassion Week book sorting, Memorial Day flag placement, and work at our church home.
- Summer: Camp Oljato each year, an out-of-council camp such as Camp Emerald Bay, and a high adventure trip to Philmont, Northern Tier or Sea Base. See summer camp and high adventure.
