Cape Cod Canal Bike RIde - Sunday, August 20th - 9:00am


Hello Troop 20!  Well, August is upon us and if you can believe it, September is right around the corner.  In no time, we will be starting up our regular Troop Meetings again and getting back into the swing of things, working on rank advancements, merit badges, planning camping trips, etc.  There will be more info about all of that in the coming weeks so stay tuned to the blog.  But in the meantime, there's still more summer left!......so let's get together for a ride at the canal!

Weather permitting, we will be meeting in our usual spot, in the parking lot near the Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge, on the mainland side, at 9:00am and we'll plan to head out around 9:30am.



We will ride all the way to Scusset Beach (about 7 miles), stop for a quick break, then head back.  Plan for the ride to take around an hour and half, so we should be back around 11:00am.  We encourage adults/parents to join us, just remember that to ride with the troop, you'll need a bicycle helmet as well.

It's been a while since our last ride so as a reminder.....Scouts should have with them (at a minimum):
  1. A bicycle helmet
  2. Full water bottles for their bikes
  3. A day pack with sunscreen and bug spray
  4. Snacks
It will be nice to reconnect with the Scouts after being away for the summer break so we hope to see lots of familiar faces there!  As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Pierce or Mr. Swindle and we'll be happy to help in any way we can.

Be sure to keep an eye on the blog as we get closer for any updates or unplanned cancellations.
