Welcome to Troop 8 of the Boy Scouts of America, Andrew Jackson Council! 

Chartered in 1921, Troop 8 is one of the oldest, continuously sponsored Boy Scout troops in America by the same organization, First Baptist Jackson.   We take pride in our long, rich history as well as the many leaders and Scouts that have made Troop 8 what it is today.  Troop 8 has the distinction of awarding over 500 Scouts the rank of Eagle since 1923.

The troop currently meets almost every Monday night during the school year from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. (with a few exceptions) at the First Baptist Church Christian Life Center (2nd floor).  Please check out our calendar for meeting dates and times.  Our typical Monday night meetings consist of learning Scout skills, working on advancement and merit badges and planning upcoming campouts and other activities.  Troop 8 typically has at least one camping trip or outdoor activity every month between September and April.  Additionally, groups of Scouts attend the various Boy Scouts of America Summer Camps offered all across the country.
