Camping has reopened in Colorado!!!   Please go to the calendar event and signup. 

Troop 808 is going to do our first campout of 2020 at BCLP, this will give us the ability to camp close to home and get our 'camping legs' under us for the new scouts.  We will make this a biking and camping trip.  The boys and a few adults will bike into the park from Atonement following the Bear Creek Bike Trail.  Other adults will bring all the gear using the trailers.  This will be a most of the day Friday, All Day Saturday and Sunday morning campout.  We will work on rank advancement and some merit badge activities.  The scouts discussed a camping cookoff activity during the last meeting.  We are really excited to get outdoorss.

We have tentative reservations at Wellington Lake to run our own Troop 808 Summer Camp 2020.  Both Wellington and us are awaiting more direction from the Governor's Office before we can make it official.  For right now we have penciled in Sun July 5th - Thurs July 9th in the Scout Area.   I'd like to ask the PLC to start putting together plans about what they would like to see the troop do during the 5 day 4 night camp.  Stay tuned for more updates.  

Nice job Crew and Troop 808. Atonement was very happy to have your assistance and they said to pass along their thanks.  You all did a great job and we got alot done for them on Saturday. A big thanks to everyone who participated.

I just got off a meeting from the organizers of Camp A and they are cancelling summer camp for the season.  We could rent campsites from them if we wanted to go there for a Troop 808 'summer camp'.   Please feel free to come up with ideas for what the scouts would like to do for an adhoc summer camp this year.

Our sponsoring organization is having a cleanup day at the church on Sat May 30th from 8 - 12.  Please come support our sponsor and earn some service hours.  This is an event when you would wear your Class B t-shirts, bring a hat, water bottle, work gloves and a mask.  There is a signup available on the website, please see the calendar event.

Parent Action Required

Governor Polis is keeping all large 'overnight' camps closed through the month of June, which impacts any BSA run summer camps.  They are not going to announce they decisons for July until mid-June.   We are still currently signed up for Summer Camp at Camp Alexander in July, but with everything that is going on there is no guarantee that the camp will operate as we normally expect.  During the last committee meeting, we discussed several options.
