This year we will provide two opportunities for scouts working on their Tenderfoot fitness requirement. Scouts who wish to complete their fitness requirement this Fall should attend ONE of the sessions (no need to come to both). Both sessions will be held at Silver Creek Middle School in the field behind the building.

If you have not already done so, please complete the following Google form survey as we determine which summer camp to attend in the summer of 2027: https://forms.gle/uwwP5V318j9rWppW8. We would like to consider all perspectives before we finalize a location.

The first GT8 Troop Meeting will be on Monday, August 31 at 6:30-7:30 pm at the North Chevy Chase Christian Church, 8814 Kensington Pkwy, Chevy Chase, MD 20815.

The outings schedule for the coming year is here! Some details may still change, but sharing now should help with everyone block off some of these weekends.

Please see the Camp Sinoquipe Leader Handbook for details about the camp, which can be found online here: (https://www.campsinoquipe.org/files/59824/Sinoquipe-Leaders-Guide-2026--...). That includes the schedule, a packing list, and critical details about the camp itself.

The Committee and Troop Leaders have drafted a formal cell phone policy that is effective immediately. The scouts have been great about responsible cell phone use, but it is helpful to have a formal policy for purposes of common understanding of expectations and consistent enforcement.
