WELCOME to TROOP 499! Troop 499 is an all Muslim troop located in San Jose, CA, chartered by South Bay Islamic Association (SBIA). Our mission statement is "To provide a safe environment for young men to learn about our world, society, and environment in a manner that is fun". Troop 499 was established on 12th November 2015. As a Muslim Troop our focus is to encourage youths to follow Islamic practices along with Scouting principles. In scouting, we believe that the best way to develop leadership is to let the boys as much freedom as possible; applying just enough adult authority to keep them safely focused on the task at hand. As long as they are sincerely trying to accomplish the duties of their positions, they are learning the rudiments of leadership. Keep in mind, Scouting is a family activity and therefore we require parents to be involved in their scout's development.
