Troop 22 Newsletter: Summer 2026 Edition

Summer is here, and Troop 22 has a busy few months ahead with plenty of time outdoors. Scouts will be heading to Sea Base, Cris Dobbins Camp, and for our advanced backpackers, a 20-mile, 2-night trek to Pecos Baldy to complete backpacking requirements. We’ll close out the summer at the end of July with a scout-planned celebration before gearing up for the fall season.

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.
