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 September or October.
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 Meetup 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. Officers have no limits on the length of their desired term.
