We inspire boys to become confident explorers, engaged citizens, and ethical leaders.

Outdoor Adventure

Outdoor adventure is the promise made to young people when they join Scouting.

For youth coming of age in the City, outdoor education and exploration provides a unique combination for reflection, discovery, fitness, and leadership unavailable anywhere else.

Leadership

Troop 333 is rigorously youth-led. In their patrols,Scouts learn cooperation and shared responsibility by managing daily camp tasks, cooking, and planning as a team.

As Scouts progress in rank and age, they are given the training, responsibility, and authority to make decisions about the goals and activities of the troop as a whole.

We emphasize the principles of servant leadership, goal-setting, and personal accountability.

Community Service

Scouting helps young people develop a deeper relationship to their community, nation, and world. Ultimately, it helps them develop a deeper relationship to themselves.

Troop 333 is an active community service partner. We offer monthly service opportunities through our unique gardening partnership with San Francisco Department of Recreation & Parks, as well as beach clean-ups, park improvements, summer camp maintenance, Eagle projects, and our annual food drive.

THE SCOUT LAW
