Boy Scout Troop 156

e proudly sponsor Boy Scout Troop 156 which currently has 48 Scouts. More than 100 scouts have earned their Eagle Scout rank - the highest rank in Scouting - while members of Troop 156, and this record of achievement is unmatched by any other troop in San Mateo County. Troop 156 is one of the oldest and strongest troops in the Pacific Skyline Council. The Troop prides itself in being a "boy run" troop but also has 11 adult leaders (a Scoutmaster & 10 Asst. Scoutmasters) to advise the boy leaders. The Troop meets at FPCB on Monday nights at 7:15 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. The strong outdoor program includes 5 to 7 backpacking trips annually, and the Troop has taken high adventure trips to the Alaskan & Canadian Rockies, the Florida Keys, Philmont in New Mexico, and Maui in addition to its regular trips to the California Sierras. The Troop is open to all boys ages 11 to 18 for membership. Scouting provides opportunities for boys to develop citizenship, solid values, leadership, and outdoor skills, and perhaps no other organization provides young men exposure to better role models than Scouting.
