Scouts will be working on their first aid skills and submitting their Fall Leadership Application.  Bring your handbook if you need to be signed off a rank requirement.  For those having a SM Conference or Board of Review, come prepared in CLASS A uniform and bring your scout handbook.

The troop will head to Camp Royaneh in 2027!  July 11th - 17th. Royaneh is located about 2.5 miles south of the town of Cazadero in Sonoma County on the Cazadero Hwy.  Sign up and pay your deposit to Troop 216, to secure your spot.  This group will need at least 3 adults; so please consider joining this group for the entire week or part of the week.  

Scouts First Class and Above can sign up as Staff position for Twin Valley's first "Trail to Troop" event on October 2-4th, at Rancho Los Machos.. This event is for AOL Level Cubs and their parent(s).  If interested, please contact Mrs Erin Storm at tvggactrail2troop@gmail.com for details and application.  THIS IS AN INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY.  Great opportunity to share your leadership skills.  Hours are not considered Service Hours.

Though not mandated via the national organization, Troop 216 will be implementing a new policy for the upcoming academic year where all registered scouts will require at least one adult registration (guardian, parent, caretaker) per family. There will be no exceptions. If a family has multiple registered scouts within the troop, at least one adult application is needed.

This policy will help ensure a smooth process for spurious participation in any scout-facing activity that includes outings, service projects, overnight camps, etc. Furthermore, this will enable the troop to more quickly engage adult volunteers as needed.

Adult applications/registrations take place via the same portal where youth scout registrations take place on my.scouting.org. Please designate Troop 216 as your unit (if you have children in Cub Packs please submit Troop 216 as "multiple units" designation). Adult applications by default will require Safety for Youth Training (SYT) along with background checks, all handled online via the same my.scouting.org website.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy change, please text or call me at 415-525-2787.

Thanks,

Kevin, T216 CC
