Discover Exciting Summer Activities with Troop 223

Each summer, our Scouts embark on unforgettable adventures that foster growth and camaraderie. Join us for a week at Camp Emerald Bay on the stunning Catalina Island, where Scouts engage in diverse activities that challenge and inspire. For those seeking more, our 2nd and 3rd year Scouts venture on a two-week High Adventure backpacking trip, exploring breathtaking destinations like Yosemite National Park and the Salmon River. Senior Scouts take on the ultimate challenge with a rigorous two-week, 65-mile trek at Philmont Ranch in New Mexico. These experiences are designed to build skills, resilience, and lifelong friendships.

Weekly Meetings

Join us every Monday evening at St. Pauls Church in West Los Angeles, California. Our meetings are held in the gym, ensuring a safe environment for all participants. Meetings are a blend of fun, learning, and preparation for upcoming adventures. 

Explore the Great Outdoors with Troop 223

Our monthly weekend campouts offer Scouts the chance to explore the natural beauty of California, with trips scheduled on the first weekend of each month during the school year. Destinations include iconic locations such as Joshua Tree, Malibu Creek, and Lake Buena Vista. These campouts provide essential outdoor skills and are a perfect opportunity for Scouts to connect with nature and each other. For those participating in High Adventure trips, practice hikes are a must, ensuring preparedness and safety for the more challenging expeditions ahead.
