The All Hands meeting is on Monday, September 15 at 6:30 pm. All parents of GT8 scouts are requested to join the ASMs and other volunteers who help make the Troop run smoothly for your scouts to learn about the upcoming scout year and areas where we need volunteer help. Although the goal is for GT8 to largely be scout-run during meetings and outings, the success of the Troop relies on parent and adult volunteers, and we can use more help! This is also a good opportunity to get answers to any questions about GT8 and to learn more about your scouts' continued advancement.

All scouts attending the canoe outing must complete a waiver prior to the outing. The waiver form is attached. Please complete and print a copy that we will bring with us.

Please pay your scout(s) fees for the 2025-2026 scouting program year through the "Online Payments" tab of the troop webpage, or pay by check to the Treasurer at one of our weekly meetings.

At the weekly Troop meeting this week, we will be hosting an Open House for people interested in learning about GT8. Please send the information below and/or the attached flyer to anyone who may be interested in learning more.

As mentioned this week, we will be holding elections at the upcoming GT8 troop meeting on September 8. All scouts should consider leadership positions that they may be interested in and come prepared with speeches for the positions that they are interested in running for.

For the September outing, we will canoe a section of the Potomac River starting near Brunswick MD with the River and Trail Outfitters. We will will leave on Saturday, September 20 and return on Sunday, September 21. Saturday evening will be spent at the Manidokan Retreat Center, 1600 Harper’s Ferry Dr
