GT8 is attending Camp Sinoquipe again for Summer Camp in 2026. We are attending Week 3 of camp, which is from June 28-July 4. Please register now if you can attend. Full details are available in the calendar entry. The initial payment of $200 is due on March 1 and the final payment of $300 is due on April 1. Families can also begin completing the BSA Health Forms, Parts A-C, particularly if scouts are having annual checkups done. The health forms are not due until May 1, but the required physical is good for 12 months, so anything done between now and then will suffice if the BSA form is completed by the doctor.

You may have received an email reminder from Scouting America about your annual membership renewal. Please renew before the expiration date of 12/31/25.

The first meeting for Scouts interested in the American Labor Merit Badge will be after the weekly meeting on Monday, December 1. The requirements for this badge will include a trip downtown to meet AFLCIO President Liz Shuler on Monday, January 5, at 4PM.

On December 13-14, GT8 will be camping at the Marsden Tract campground along the C&O Canal within Billy Boat Trail Loop B. We will hike Billy Goat Trail Loop A on Saturday morning upon our arrival and will be working on advancement skills after the hike (our plan for a service project fell through due to limitations of the national park). The cost of the outing is $35 per scout, which covers the cost of the campsite and food. Full details and signup are on the GT8 Calendar
