Hopewell Troop 8 - Guthriesville, PA

Summer Camp begins on Sunday, July 13 and ends on Saturday, July 19, 2008.

In order to attend camp, participants must provide a valid medical form and signed permission slip. In addition, scouts will need to select which merit badges they plan to particpate in while at camp. (The first year scouts will automatically be registered in the Trailblazer program along with Leatherwork and First Aid merit badges.)

On Tuesday, June 17, JJ Doran successfully completed his Council Eagle Board making him the latest Eagle Scout at Troop 8. Please join me in congratulating JJ on a job well done.
