The Troop will be traveling to Five Forks on November 16-17. Please sign up now so that we can plan attendance. This is a great outing for Scouts to complete advancement requirements and brush up on camping skills. We also will plan to do patrol cooking and campfires. Scouts should bring a pack lunch for Saturday that we will eat after arrival. Scouts should also bring their Scout Book to sign off any requirements completed during the outing.

For the 2024-2025 scouting program year, please pay your scout(s) fees through the "Online Payments" tab of the troop webpage.

Scouting America is moving to a system whereby individual membership and renewal fees are paid directly by the scouts and adult scouters for a 12-month period of time. BSA will be emailing individual scouts when the fees for BSA are due. GT8 fees to operate over the year are due now. GT8 annual dues are $100 for the first Scout in a family and $80 for each additional scout (covers the 2024 - 2025 program year).

This is our First Court of Honor of the Scouting year. Scouts will receive rank advancements and merit badges earned over the summer. All parents, families, and friends are invited to attend to help celebrate the Scouts' achievements!

For thew October outing, we will be canoeing a section of the Potomac River starting near Brunswick MD. The outing is on October 19-20.
