The Troop hosts an annual Tri-Tip Dinner each May. Our Scouts sell tickets for a four-person meal.
Each summer, our Troop also works alongside the City of Paso Robles to coordinate volunteer parking lot attendants during the Mid State Fair.
Any profit goes directly into our treasury to fund troop costs and activities. Donations without purchase are also accepted. We may also include other fundraising opportunities through the year, as discussed during the planning meetings.
-
Every parent should be willing to volunteer some of their time to work with the trained Leader(s) in an effort to provide quality meetings, but the Scouts are active participants as well.
-
The Troop is entirely volunteer led. We have many opportunities for parents to be included in their Scout’s experiences. To attend Scouting activities, parents must become registered adults through BSA.
-
It is optional for parents to remain at the meetings with their Scout(s).

There are many adult leaders that support both Troop 60 and Troop 1602. We have many Assistant Scoutmasters, Committee Members, Council Members, and a Charter Organization that keep the troops operational. We also accept any new adults that would like to join a role and complete the enrollment process.
-
Every uniformed Troop 60 leader has completed at least three basic training classes. We take creating a youth-safe environment very seriously.
-
The events and activities are youth-lead. Our Scouts select the activities and plan the weekly meetings. Adults support and help put the activities into action.
-
Our Troop typically hosts a camping trip once a month.
-
We host lots of events and activities throughout the year including summer camp, backpacking, camping in National Parks or other special destinations, shooting, rafting, rock climbing, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing, canoeing, and ziplining. Our Troop members elect which activities we partake in each year and at least once per month, something is scheduled for our Scouts.
