Chartered in 1955, Scouting America Troop 109 serves Menlo Park, Atherton, Redwood City, and the surrounding communities.  This co-ed, scout-led troop is not affiliated with a religious organization, and focuses on diversity, inclusiveness, leadership, and independence.

​

Troop 109 is unique in being the "ideal size" for scouts at all levels. With about 40 scouts, T109 is small enough to provide individualized attention to the needs of each scout. With 5 patrols, T109 is large enough for leadership opportunities and development.

​

We know that scouts also have other interests (e.g. band, drama, football, baseball, robotics, etc.), and we want them to be able to balance scouting with all of these, including school work. That is why we hold one formal troop meeting a month on the 1st Tuesday of each month at the Hillview Middle School Library from 6:30 to 8:45 pm. 

​

We hold at least one weekend activity a month, such as hiking, overnight camping and backpacking, white water rafting, orienteering, community service, etc. We also hold monthly rank advancement sessions to help scout progress at their own pace.
