Boy Scout Troop 8 offers boys ages 11–17 the opportunity to develop leadership, character, citizenship, and fitness while having fun.
The troop meets every week to work as teams to prepare for outdoor activities, and to learn skills under the guidance of their elected peer officers. Patrol leaders meet monthly with the scoutmaster to plan outdoor activities.
