Kitsap Branch

about us

Founded on March 6, 2003, the Kitsap branch counts in its backyard the trails, waters, and mountains of both the Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas. Over slightly more than a decade, this branch has developed very strong climbing and hiking programs and its conservation/education program has also grown significantly. Other Kitsap Branch courses and activities include snowshoe/winter travel, navigation, and first aid. 

Our activity committees sponsor several stewardship efforts each year and recurring events include our fall Salmon Safaris and an annual mushroom walk. The branch hosts an Annual General Membership meeting and party in October or November.

MEETINGS

Our quarterly leadership meetings and most courses are held at the Program Center. To find the day and location of the council meetings please check the Kitsap Branch event calendar of the Mountaineers website or go to our Facebook page - Kitsap Branch of the Mountaineers.

Get involved!

Founded in March 2003, the Kitsap Branch counts in its backyard the trails, waters, and mountains of both the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas. Under its policies, a nominating committee is formed in the second quarter of each year and nominees for council are presented at the regular September meeting, at which time two nominations from the floor may also be accepted. Elections are held at or before the October General Meeting of the membership.
