Let’s help build scouting in Sandusky!

Congrats to Troop 8s own Benny and Joey! May you guys take the values and skills you have learned throughout your scouting journey and apply it as you move onto your next chapter.

Memorial Day, Honor the Fallen but not forgotten. Every year the Troop 8 and Pack 8 honor the fallen by placing flags on their graves and taking part in the parade. They also have the honor of being the Color Guard and Grand Marshal es**rt.

Tonight’s mission was to give back to our charter organization Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church. Scouts and leaders installed benches around the property.

For any Scouts looking to earn their God & Family religious emblem. Check it out.

Last night another mark in scouting history was made! We have watched this young man grow and become the person he is today. On behalf of the Troop 8 Committee and Leadership Team congratulations to Joey F on becoming an Eagle Scout!

What is one thing that is in both the Scout Oath and the Scout Law?

If you said Duty to God and Reverent you are correct! This last Sunday the scout along with the congregation from Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church celebrated Scout Sunday marking the 102nd year for scouting in Sandusky!

A lot of good pictures from the ceremony!

Thank you to Lake Erie Shores Blue Star Mothers for asking us to be part of a truly meaningful day. The Scouts led the ceremony with the Pledge of Allegiance and at the end each took a wreath dedicated to each branch of our Armed Services and placed them outside. 

Often times it’s the unspoken actions that mean something. Today was just that day. Today marked the 2nd year the scouts participated in National Wresths Across America Day. Each scout and family took time to Honor, Remember, and Teach.

Remember the fallen,Honor who served, Teach our children the value of Freedom. To do our duty to God and our Country. A scout is Reverent was the themes these youth learned today.

It is National Wreaths Across America Day 2023!
