Welcome to the Troop 888 website!

Our troop serves Alamo, Danville, Mt. Diablo and San Ramon, CA; is part of the Mt. Diablo Silverado Council and chartered by The American Legion Post #246 of Danville, CA as part of Boy Scouts of America. The Scouts in our Troop are dedicated to helping their fellow Scouts have great adventures that may not otherwise be available to them if they weren’t in Scouts. Our troop has a great tradition and track record of operations over the last 25 years so if you are looking for a Troop to call your own, please come and visit.

The Scouting adventure begins at Troop 888 weekly meetings where boys learn skills, earn merit badges and achieve advancement. The program is enhanced by monthly camping and seasonal adventures like white water rafting on American River, summer camp, outdoor rock climbing in Bear Valley, etc. We have a great program for learning, character building and leadership.

Troop 888 helped five Scouts advance to the highest rank of Eagle Scout in 2010. Scouting is cool and fun at Troop 888! We think scouting will be a once in a lifetime experience for your son. We also have a more extensive Troop888 FAQ if you have additional questions. To learn more about the benefits of Scouting you may want to visit Scouting Benefits.

A reminder to everyone in Troop 888 on Scout Code of Conduct has been posted in this announcement and the Files section for every Scout and Parent to read, accept, sign and return to Scoutmaster Mr. Alex Hall. Remember this is for your behavior in Scouting and life. The code of conduct extends to any use of language among Scouts and Leaders. We have a zero tolerance policy and Scouts that do not comply with the policy will not advance to the next rank and will be asked to not attend meetings/outings until they are ready to follow the Code of Conduct.

Adult Involvement in Troop 888

Posted on Mar 15 2012 - 12:54am

As Troop 888 grows and continues to offer a rich program for our Scouts, this creates more opportunities for the parents of Troop 888 to get involved. We are asking that each family has an adult member participate in the Troop in some capacity. How can you participate? There are several ways depending on how much you want to be involved. It could be as simple as helping with leading an outing, being a merit badge counselor, or becoming a member on the Troop Committee or even becoming a uniformed Leader. This is a wonderful way to participate in unique experiences that Boy Scouts offers and you may even learn a new skill or take up a new hobby along with your son. No matter how you participate, it will make a difference.
