The path to Eagle Scout, Scouting's highest award, is a difficult and rigorous test of a Scout's motivation and commitment to Scouting. Since 1957, Troop 500 has produced 143 Eagle Scouts.
Troop 500 hosts outdoor treks throughout the year. These include summer camps, backpacking in the Grand Canyon and the Sierras, canoeing in the Colorado River, and an annual Rocket Camp.
Youth who have completed their Arrow of Light, completed fifth grade and are at least ten years old, or are at least eleven years old and not yet eighteen are eligible to join.
