The Friends of Arvada Fire Protection District (FAFPD) is looking for Boy Scout volunteers to help with their annual car show on August 6.  See the listing on our Troop calendar for more information.

Here is the list supplied by Medicine Mountain about what to pack for Summer Camp. Check with Mr. Pallozzi, AiC of you have any questions.

Medicine Mountain let us know that they strongly recommend Scouts and Adults that plan on using the aquatics area bring an extra pair of shoes that can get wet. Unfortunately, they have had a bunch of geese at their beachfront and don't want participants stepping directly in goose poo. We will pass along any further tips we receive.

Troop Family,

Has your scout sprouted and now his official BSA pants look more like pedal-pushers? Your troop wants to help your scout look sharp without breaking the bank. Please bring your gently used gear and scout clothes (uniform pieces or other BSA clothing) to this Thursday's Court of Honor for our annual (occasional) swap.  For those who want to find a new home for their gently used gear but don't want to give away the farm, reasonably priced items will be accepted for sale, provided they have a price on them. If you plan to sell, be prepared to make change or accept checks. Troop 808 will not accept responsibility for the sale or the consequences of said sale. All lost and found items will be on display and those not claimed will be donated.  We need to keep our small space as free of clutter as possible so your assistance in assuring clothing and gear go home is greatly appreciated.

Troop 808 can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/BSAtroop808/ We hope this will be a good way to follow all the fun and exciting things our Troop does, and to share information about all things Scouting with our members. If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see on the page, please send your ideas to MediaManager@bsatroop808.org.

National Trials Day is a volunteer trail project at William Frederick Hayden Park at Green Mountain in partnership with the Colorado Mountain Bike Association. This will count toward Conservation Service Hours. This will be a strenuous work project with a moderate to difficult hike of up to 1.5 miles to the project site. Light breakfast and lunch will be provided. REGISTRATION (with the City of Lakewood) is REQUIRED. Lakewood.org/BCLPEvents. See the attached flyer for more details. If you have any questions, you can contact Travis.
