WELCOME TO TROOP 8 Meeting Place: The Church of Christ
Where: 370 Sonoma Mountain Parkway When: 7 to 8:30 PM Welcome to BSA Troop 8, Petaluma, CA. We are in the Miwok District, Redwood Empire Council. We meet Tuesday nights from 7 to 8:30 at The Church of Christ. 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.

TROOP 8 ACTIVITIES Troop 8 is considered a high-adventure troop for quite a few reasons. We partake in quite a few trips that are both challenging, and fun to the scouts. We do a large variety of activities during all seasons. We do:
• Snow Camp - Where we camp in the snow, in snow trenches, overnight. • 50 Mile Afloat - Where we travel 50 miles on the Russian River over 3 days. • 50 Mile Backpack - Where we hike 50 miles across quite a few locations, common ones being Yosemite, Marin Sierra, Emigrant Wilderness, in only 7 days. • Rock Climbing - Where we climb rocks, with safety gear, and rapell as well. These are the most common ones; however, we participate in many other smaller trips. The Scouts enjoy these the most, aa well as the parent leaders. WHERE WE MEET Meeting Place: The Church of Christ
