It is with great pride that we pass along the following news from BSA Troop 800's very first Eagle Scout, Michael Hesbach.
"It is with great joy and excitement that I announce my selection as the Scout Executive of Pee Dee Area Council in Florence, SC. I start on March 1.

I look forward to serving the volunteers and staff in Florence."
September 16-18, 2016 -- Camp Justis - Powhatan, VA | Capital Bike Trail - Henrico, VA
This month's campout was originally scheduled to be whitewater rafting at the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC. However, after the unexpected death of a park visitor due to a brain-eating amoeba, the whitewater portion of the park was closed back in June. Out of an abudnance of caution, we decided to scrap those plans altogether and go with a backup.
September 10, 2015 -- The Boulders - Richmond, VA

July 18-25, 2015 -- Camp Raven Knob - Mt. Airy, NC
Another July and another summer camp is behind us. For the first time in a few years, BSA Troop 800 returned to Camp Raven Knob in Mt. Airy, NC for summer camp. With 43 boys going this year, we had nearly 100% attendance for the troop.
June 19-21, 2015 -- Camp Justis - Powhatan, VA
The Summer campouts always tend to be more low key than normal and this month's was no exception. With a bunch of boys out of town on the High Adventure trip to Seabase down in Florida and a lot of others on family vacations and such, we only had about 25 boys on this trip, including nearly all of our first year scouts.
