Troop 506B & Troop 506G | La Jolla, CA
For over a half century, Troop 506 has welcomed youth ages 11-17 to join the Scouts BSA program. Today, we have over 70 local boys and girls actively on their paths to eagle!
Troop 506 is a linked troop with Troop 506B for boys and Troop 506G for girls. Our scouts use the patrol method to build character, leadership, citizenship and personal fitness through community service and high adventure outdoor activities.
New scouts are always welcome and no experience is required. Please contact us for more information. Your adventure awaits!
Troops 506B and 506G meet separately on a weekly basis at La Jolla United Methodist Church. The troops are organized into smaller groups or patrols, which also hold meetings as school, sports and extracurricular schedules permit.
In addition to attending their respective troop and patrol meetings, scouts plan and lead year-round activities. Most activities are restricted to either 506B or 506G, but some are joint activities open to both troops and a few are open to parent and sibling participation.
All Troop 506B and 506G meetings and activities are supervised by adult leadership of troop parents who are trained and certified in Scouts BSA safety and youth protection. Check out our combined list of 506B and 506G 2024 activities!
As a rule, Troops 506B and 506G do not miss school for scouting activities. We plan around all local public and private school calendars and accommodate youth sports and other extracurricular schedules as needed.
Parents of Troops 506B and 506G meet together monthly at the same location as the scouts. We are a dedicated group, providing a safe environment in all respects and volunteering the time and energy needed to facilitate a high adventure troop.
In addition to attending parent meetings, we ask of each other to help coordinate two scout activities per year – but just like for our new scouts, no experience is needed and we have great mentors to help! We also take turns in various administrative roles on our parent committee.

By Ketan, Webmaster Troop 506B Surf Camp is a great easy little trip for new scouts to learn the ropes of scouting. This was in fact the first trip I went on as a boy scout. Although there are not very many merit badges to earn at this camp, it does give you a great […]
By Layla, Webmaster Troop 506G Philmont is a very special trip that our 506G troop got to attend this summer (2024). It is a twelve day high adventure backpacking trip in New Mexico. Philmont is not like other backpacking trips, in the sense that there are events/activities that the scouts get to attend almost everyday. […]
By Layla, Webmaster Troop 506G Over summer, the girls of Troop 506 enjoyed a week at camp Emerald Bay, on Catalina Island. Camp Emerald Bay is known for their many water activities and merit badges. Our troop had a fun time doing some of the activities that Camp Emerald Bay offers. As a troop, 506G […]
One of my favorite scout trips is the February Colorado River canoe trip. This is an annual event that the hard-working parents of Troop 506B and Troop 506G organize. I have been on this adventure twice, and both were fantastic experiences. This trip lasts about four days. There is so much more to this trip […]
One of the most enjoyable trips in my Scouting journey is Surf Camp. Surf Camp is an event only offered by Troop 506. We get to hang out with all of our friends in the sun all day long. It is a very leisurely experience that was designed to create a break for Scouts, somewhere […]
Join Troop 506 for our open house to learn about the troop and the adventures we have planned for next year.
