We are holding a parent meeting on April 30th during the Troop meeting.  The scouts will be engaged in an outdoor activity for the meeting, and we will hold the parent meeting inside the Legion Hall.  This meeting will include a presentation on basic Troop and Scout information, upcoming Troop plans, and time for questions and answers.  

 

Trying to figure out Scouting?  Have questions about summer camp?  What are all the ranks about?  Questions about how the Troop runs?  Come and get some answers!

 

The rain date is May 7th in case the scouts can not hold their meeting outdoors.

Please consider donating baked goods for the troop to sell at the bike sale. We are looking for all kinds of donations of sweet and/or savory items: cookies, brownies, cupcakes, loaves of bread, etc.

Donations can be dropped off to the American Legion on Friday, May 1 from 5:30-7:30PM or between 7AM-9AM on May 2 at the common (the day of the sale).

Please respond to bakesale@westfordtroop437.us with what bake sale contribution(s) you are willing to make so we know what to expect! 

Thank you so much for your support!

Overview:  This trip will be tent camping at the Resolute Scout Reservation. This campout will be a great opportunity for our new cross-over scouts to join in all the fun of camping with Troop 437.  

This trip will feature a Merit Badge Bonanza, where several merit badges that can be completed in one day will be offered.  We hope all scouts can complete one or two badges at this campout.  An exact list of badges that will be offered will be announced as the trip approaches.

The patrols will also be competing in an Iron Chef cooking competition!  Does your patrol have what it takes to wow and delight the judges with your culinary skills and teamwork?  

There will also be our usual evening campfire and a likely opportunity for board or card games.  Bring your favorite game to share with your fellow scouts!

Equipment: Please see the Scout Troop 437 | Camping Essentials page on our website.  The Troop has tents and sleeping bags available for borrowing, along with some other gear.  If you want to borrow equipment, please talk to the quartermaster or a scoutmaster at a Troop meeting.
