Either way, Troop 437 welcomes all youth to come and experience the adventure of scouting!  Visit one of our meetings to experience what Scouting is all about and what makes Troop 437 a great Scout Troop.

Calendar Updates

Posted on Sep 25 2024 - 5:12pm

  

Due to logistical difficulties, we have made changes in the October and November trips.

October - Unfortunately we are not going to be able to make the trip to Acadia on Columbus Day weekend as planned.  Instead, we are pulling forward the High Ropes trip originally planned for the spring to the weekend of October 19th.  More details about this trip will be published soon.

November - Because the October trip is moving out one week we are also moving the November trip out one week to the weekend of November 16th.  This allows us to avoid a trip on Veterans Day weekend.  The trip theme remains a pioneering trip to Camp Resolute in Bolton.
