Troop 508 is located in Saratoga, California and is chartered by the Saratoga Presbyterian Church. We are in the Polaris District of the Santa Clara County Council of BSA. We are a scout run troop and consist of approximately 50 scouts ranging from 11 to 17 years of age. The focus of our troop is to have fun and live by the scout oath and laws. We encourage all Scouts to achieve First Class rank and offer strong support to those who want to pursue rank advancement to Eagle. Each month we have at least one outing including short backpacking trips, desert camping, snow camping, summer camp, community service projects and many other fun things to do. Please check out the rest of our website to see some of our other planned activities and pictures from past events. If you are interested in joining our troop just come to one of our meetings as a guest - no appointment is needed and of course feel free to contact us via email at scoutmaster@troop508.org, or scoutmaster1@troop508.org, if you have any additional questions.
