Our charter organization is the Concerned Parents of Troop 299.

Affiliation

Troop 299 is part of the Mene Oto District, Santa Clara County Council, Boy Scouts of America. Our charter organization is the Concerned Parents of Troop 299.

Rank Advancement

Since Boy Scouts is really an outdoor oriented program, it's not surprising that many requirements needed for advancement can be earned on outdoor activities. ( It's also the reason that the troop maintains an active outdoor program. ) The next best place to work on your requirements is at Troop meetings. It's important to look at the calendar and plan ahead to ensure you match up your requirements with the monthly theme. Check with whoever is planning the monthly theme to make sure you know which requirements can be signed off.

We have a First Class Tracking Form on the site. It should help take some of the mystery out of the advancement process and help the scout, his parents and his troop leaders by showing all the requirements for the three necessary ranks: Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class.

Membership

Scouts interested in transferring or joining our troop should contact us.

Meeting Location

Troop 299 usually meets in the Santa Teresa / Blossom Hill area of San Jose. Occasionally we will have troop meetings out in the field.
