Boy Scout Troop 80 of Mountain View CA

Our son joined Troop 80 about 3 years ago. He was looking for a troop that was right for him and he landed at Troop 80. I've watched him grow, learn and develop skills he would never have without Troop 80. There's a great mix of boys of all ages, really caring adult participation (cuz it's fun!) yet it sticks to it's mission of a boy-led troop. As an only child it was important our son built "a community" of his own and with Troop 80 that's just what he has!

My son never went through Cub Scout. Upon a friend's recommendation, we joined troop 80 and we never looked back! Even though he is a bit on the quiet side, he still finds his voice within the troop. It is a true boy led troop where they boys determine trip planning, lead meetings, and manage their own advancement. The positive peer pressure is the best way to motivate them to keep going instead of being pushed through for the sake of ranking up. Troop 80 is also known for its rock climbing trips and they truly have been one of the best experiences for him. If you are looking for a great group for your son to journey through scouting and Monday nights work for you, come check it out!

Troop 80 has taught my son to be a proactive, organized planner that respects authority and owns his personal responsibilities. The activities has been the highlights of his teen years thus far. I cannot say enough about what this troop has done for his character and leadership developement!

What drew me to Troop 80 is that it is boy-led. It is very important to me that my son learn independence and leadership skills in a supportive environment, and I feel having teen role models who are truly leading has and will continue to be invaluable to him. In addition, Troop 80 has a good balance and variety of trips. And it's fun! My son has been having a great time on the trips and in the meetings alike.
