[quote=cburkhardt]More good questions.  Over the course of the year we will offer no fewer than six weekend camping opportunities (2 nights at a camp within 2 hours drive of the District), a full week of summer residential camp at nearby Goshen Scout Reservation, and an annual optional summer trip.  This year the optional trip will be to visit the International Scout Jamboree in West Virginia.

So far we now have 18 adult volunteer leaders.  Seven are on our Scoutmaster Staff (I hope to add 2 more), and the rest are on our Troop Committee.  We welcome additional leaders as well, each of which must take Youth Protection Training required by the Episcopal Church and BSA.  You do not need experience in youth programming to join us.

The BSA national organization regularly adds and subtracts merit badges based on the interests of youth members.  I anticipate the national organization will be adding merit badges that address girl-specific interests and hobbies to the extent these are not already reflected in the huge number of merit badges already available.  The principal "required" merit badges will remain the same (line camping, cooking, swimming, citizenship, etc.).[/quote]
