The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
The Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
The Scout Law
A Scout is:
Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
Obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave

Troop 53 is part of the San Diego Imperial Council. The Troop was started in 1972 and is sponsored by the North Park Community Church.
The troop generally meets once a week and has monthly outings.
For older scouts age 14 to 18 who are interested in high adventure activities, we offer Venture Crew 2053. Venture members do additional outings such as hiking, kayaking and river rafting.
General meetings happen on Mondays from 7:00 to 8:30PM at the North Park Community Church (not during summer).
To learn more or get involved, come to a meeting and learn what Troop 53 is all about.
