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.

Eagle Scouts

Eagle Scouts are rare. Nationwide only 6% of all Scouts attain this rank; but nearly half of Troop 333 Scouts ultimately achieve this honor. That’s not because we make it easy; it’s because we make it meaningful.

In addition to earning at least 21 merit badges, an Eagle Scout must demonstrate their adherence to the Scout Oath and Law, a commitment to service, and effective, equitable leadership. Eagle Scouts must also conceive, plan, organize, manage, and complete an extensive community service project.

Our program commits resources, guidance, and support to every Scout interested in pursuing this goal.

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.
