Troop 762 provides scouting activities to young boys in the Yorba Linda, CA area. We are a scouts-led Troop, where the scouts plan the activities and make the decisions.  Through those activities we strive to teach boys the principles of scouting through respect for the individual and to develop and use their potential to the best of their ability. With more than 130 Merit Badges -- from Archery and Art to Welding and Wilderness Survival -- Scouting is the ultimate form of learning by doing. Boy Scouts explore their interests and improve their skills while working toward Scouting’s highest rank: Eagle. By first imagining, planning then doing their own service projects, Boy Scouts learn the value of hard work, and experience the thrill of seeing it pay off. Add in outdoor adventures, hiking and camping, and Scouting gives boys all the experience they need to become men.

We go on monthly camping adventures where our scouts participate in activities like swimming, climbing walls, archery and wilderness survival. The scouts cook their own meals over camp fires and camp stoves, sing songs and play silly games. They study the natural world and the wildlife that lives in it while respecting the environment and leaving no trace when we go home. All of this we do in the spirit of scouting.

The Troop comprises on average of about 12 scouts in any given year, broken into patrols.  Troop 762 has been an active troop since 1958.  The Troop meets each Monday evening (apart from holidays) for about an hour. Troop meetings are held at the Yorba Linda Untied Methodist Church in the Fellowship Hall.  Patrol meetings are held in various locations as organized by the patrol leaders.

Troop 762 is an out-of-doors oriented Troop.  We have a very active outdoor program and all scouts are encouraged to participate.  We go on monthly camping adventures where our scouts participate in activities like swimming, climbing walls, archery backpacking weekend outings, annual week long summer camp, and local day hikes. The scouts cook their own meals over camp stoves and camp fires (when permitted), and play silly games. They study the natural world and the wildlife that lives in it while respecting the environment and leaving no trace when we go home. All of this we do in the spirit of scouting.

Troop 762 also supports BSA events such as Camporee, Scout-o-Rama and training experiences. 

We encourage scouts to become Eagle Scouts (but not at any cost). We offer a broad range of activities chosen by the scouts.  Every fall, our PLC decides through input from all scouts, what activities they would like to do in the upcoming year.  Our vision is to prepare every scout member to become a responsible, participating citizen, and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and Law
