Welcome !

Welcome to BSA Troop 685 from San Diego, California. Troop 685 is a scout-led troop where the boys decide upon, lead and participate in their trips, activities, and service projects. Adult leaders guide scouts on this journey and on their path to Eagle. Troop 685 meets at 7 PM every Tuesday evening, usually at Del Sur Elementary School. Exceptions will be noted on the Troop Calendar on this website. Many thanks to our chartering organization, Rancho Bernardo Veterans Memorial Association.

Those interested in having Troop 685 scouts participate in a service event are asked to submit the attached form to service@troop685.org.

Volunteer Training Announcement for All Troop 685 Adults and Parents

Posted on Feb 8 2026 - 12:16pm

Adult Volunteers - Troop 685's success depends entirely on the strength and presence of our adult volunteers. To provide a high-quality, safe experience for our youth, we maintain a 5:1 adult-to-scout ratio and require a minimum of three adults for every outing. Great training opportunties are available! Whether you are interested in joining us at an outing or prefer a "behind the scenes" support role, your contribution is vital. If you’ve ever considered stepping up, we would love to find a spot for you—please see the attachment or click here for more details!
