FOR ALL ATTENDEES OF THE BECHTEL HIGH ADVENTURE CAMP - IMPORTANT REMINDERS/INFORMATION

- We will meet on Friday July 19 at 6PM at the WCCC for a pack inspection. You will bring one large duffle bag containing the items in the personal equipment list (attached) plus a bike helmet.

GT8 had a productive and fun trip to Camp Olmsted at the Goshen Scout Reservation the last week of June. Some of the scouts were unable to complete all of the requirements for some of the merit badges they were working on.

Congratulations on completing the 2023-2024 school year! We will not hold regular GT8 Troop meetings until after the Summer break. We will let you know when the first meeting is scheduled in August.

For those scouts working on the Citizenship in the Community Merit badge who were unable to attend the Kensington Town Hall meeting or the follow-up meeting with the Mayor in June, we have set up another opportunity to do both. Mayor Tracy will be available to meet with scouts to complete requirement 4 at 5:00 pm on Wednesday, July 10. Scouts should come prepared to talk about an issue that is important to citizens of their community to ask the mayor is being done about that issue and what young people can do to help.

I will be conducting my Eagle Project on Saturday June 15, 2024, at the Chevy Chase Library Meeting Room 8005 Connecticut Ave, (right across the street from the Women’s Club) from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm. My project is for I Support The Girls a charity that helps unhoused women by providing bras and feminine hygiene products. I would like you to help.

All scouts working on the Citizenship in the Community Merit badge should meet at the Kensington Town Hall on Wednesday, June 12 at 7:00 PM to watch a portion of the Town Hall meeting and then discuss the meeting. This will be used to complete requirement 3.
