BSA Troop 8 has two independent Troops, one for boys and one for girls

Scouts BSA

In February 2019, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) changed the name of its program for older youth to Scouts BSA and began accepting girls. BSA Troop 8 has embraced this change and formed a second independent Troop for girls. For the first time in its 100+ year history, BSA Troop 8 is now two; a Boys Troop 8 (BT8) and a Girls Troop 8 (GT8). Both Troops share a common organizational framework and sponsor (the Westlake Foundation), but are programmatically distinct.
