Troop 22 Newsletter: August 2026 Edition

Summer has been one for the books! From Sea Base and Cris Dobbins Scout Camp to Crew's adventure on Catalina Island, our Scouts have made incredible memories while building skills, confidence, and friendships.

As summer winds down, we shift our focus to a new school year filled with campouts, service, leadership opportunities, and plenty of adventures still to come. We look forward to seeing everyone back together and making this another great season for Troop 22!

NOTE: Be sure to check the Troop calendar here & your email the week of each troop meeting to track any changes.

NOTES:

• We Need Your Support!

  To keep our campouts and events running smoothly, we rely on all of our families to pitch in. When just a few carry the weight, it’s tough to keep the momentum going. Please take a moment to reach out to a troop leader so we can plan ahead and keep offering these awesome experiences for our Scouts.

• Reminder: Always CC Another Adult in Scout Communications

  As a reminder, whenever a Scout and a leader communicate via email, it is essential to always CC another registered adult or a parent/guardian. This practice is a core part of Scouting’s Youth Protection guidelines. 

  
  

• Report YPT Violations: call or text 1-844-SCOUTS1

• BSA Medical forms are found here - youth & adult participants need forms A & B for overnights less than 72 hours + part C (signed by doctor) if more than 72 hours.
