WELCOME TO TROOP 8!! Welcome to BSA Troop 8, Petaluma, CA. We are in the Miwok District, Redwood Empire Council. We meet Tuesday nights from 6 to 7:30 at McKinley Elementary School. Troop 8 was established in 1943 and is sponsored by the Rotary Club Of Petaluma.
BSA Troop 8 is geared towards high adventure; younger scouts learn scout skills, and participate in hikes, weekend camp trips and summer camp while older scouts challenge themselves with high adventure outings and leadership of the younger scouts. High adventure outings include a 50-mile canoe trip down the Russian River, snow camp in snow caves, and 50+ mile back-pack trips. For more information contact us at Mastersk9@aol.com | TROOP 8 YELL

TROOP 8 COMMONS Troop 8 commons are regular schedules we run by. Down below is a list of these that should help you foreshadow our activities. Some of are commons include:
~ We try to have our monthly outing on the first weekend of the month. ~ We will try to have a meeting designated for merit badge counseling at least once every 2 months. ~ We try to have a pack check for important outings the meeting before the outing. ~ We have our PLC, patrol leaders council, on the first Tuesday of the month 30 minutes before the meeting. We may have some more in the near/distant future depending on many factors. Please refer to this often in case it changes. | POLL ACTIVITY Hello, I thought that this poll would be a good idea to see what you guys like to do the most in Scouting. Please feel free to vote, and you are allowed two choices. There are no right or wrong answers, as this is an opinion based. I will try to change the poll weekly and they won't always relate to Scouting, but most of the time they will.
Monthly Thing
The monthly thing for March was the Eagle Court of Honor. This Court of Honor was for Dominik Martinez, Josh Will, Jordon Padget, and Chris Jepsen. These event was the ceremony for an accumulation of the past 4 years worth of Eagle Scouts. To sum it up, it was awesome. There were an enormous amount people in attendance; among them were Sonoma Supervisor David Rabbit, Past Troop 8 Scoutmaster Mike Carlson, Past District Advancement Chair Linda Squire, and our Rotary Representative Wally Bragton. There was also 4 different cakes, all of which were delicious. To all those in attendance, we hope you had a good time there. To all those who couldn't come, we hope you can make the next Eagle Court of Honor. And to all those who were challenged by the Eagle Scouts, we hope you live up to and go beyond the standards.
