Scouting prepares boys to become respected citizens and capable men of high character.  As a boy led organization, we are here to empower leadership, growth in character, and safely challenge each other to live out the values found in the Scout Law and Scout Oath.

Troop 51 is committed to providing safe structures for boys to learn basic life skills through fun and challenging experiences. Our program is proven, and our volunteers are trained.

We encourage you to come by and check our troop out.  Meet some of the adult leaders and see what our troop is up to.  You are more than welcome to drop by at the Scout Hut most Tuesday nights at 6:30PM.  We are located at 9315 Pismo Ave, at the Lake Pavilion in the lower level, behind the pavilion.  You can also email us at troop51atown@gmail.com.

You can also apply online at my.scouting.org.

Troop 51 meets weekly on Tuesdays from 6:30pm to 8pm at the Lower (lake side) level of the Atascadero Lake Pavilion, 9315 Pismo Ave. Atascadero, CA 93422.

Monthly there is an activity, most often a one or two night campout, for scouts with a variety of experiences throughout the year.

Service opportunities are presented for scouts throughout the year to give back to the community and meet rank requirements.

While scouting provides youth programs for ages 5 to 21 through its various programs, Troop 51 is for boys age 11 to 18. 10 year olds who have completed 5th grade can also participate.

Cub Scouts Pack 51 offers programs for youth ages 5 to 11.

From kayaking to canoeing, hiking to camping, and much more Troop 51provides a traditional Scouting experience where boys can participate in adventure in the great outdoors. The boys learn to be part of the community through volunteer work, while increasing their leadership skills in fun and meaningful settings.

Troop 51 follows the scouting principle of scout-led meetings and activities. Following the Patrol Method, scouts are organized in units encouraging personal growth and responsibility. Through the Patrol Leader Council, scouts are involved in determining the activities for meetings and campouts.

Adult leaders facilitate meetings and activities to ensure safety, opportunities for learning, and our pre-determined programs are successful. Merit badge councilors share their expertise and teach scouts a variety of valuable life skills.

Registration with national scouting costs $85 a year. Additionally, there are unit dues for Troop 51, typically $200-300 annually which helps support our scouting programs, plus smaller activities fees (typically $20-$40) for campouts for food and activities.

Troop 51 offers several fundraising opportunities to scouts which can be used to pay for fees and gear, and we have scholarships available based on need.
