From canoeing the mighty Huron River to Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, Troop 8 at St. Thomas Church runs the most amazing year-round outdoor adventure and leadership program in the area.

Art Fair Pre-Meeting

This year there are a few important changes which you need to hear about if you are helping in the Art Fair fundraiser, even if you've helped at the Art Fair many times before.  You will hear about these changes from one of the Street Art Fair coordinators, Rich Magner, as well as how to do your art fair job well in the coming week.  It's important to come to this meeting so that you'll know exactly what to do when you arrive at your shift, and therefore you can sell more, especially if you've never helped at the Art Fair before.

Date and Time:

2009-2010 Tentative Calendar Now Available

Last weekend, the PLC held their annual planning meeting to put together next year's calendar. (Be sure to thank your patrol representative!) Their proposed calendar is now available under the events section. Please be aware of the following issues as you mark things on your calendar:

1. As always, these dates and times are a "best guess" and are subject to change based on the availability of Troop leadership, campsites, and all kinds of variables. As always, the Troop 8 calendar mantra is "check early, check often".
