Troop Meeting this Thursday, 3/28 at Sacred Heart Parish Hall - 7:00pm

Hello Troop 20!

There will be a Troop meeting this Thursday, March 28th, at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall.  Please remember that we line up for our opening ceremony at 7:00PM so you need to plan to be at the hall 10-15 minutes earlier, in Class A uniform.

Last weeks offsite:

All of our Scouts who attended last week's offsite at the Mystery Room had a fun time as always.  We hope to see more Scouts next time.

Merit Badges:

• We are scheduled to have the Citizenship merit badges this week.
• Scouts participating in these merit badges will need their workbooks and be prepared to show progress.

Eagle Court of Honor for Thomas Devine:

Just a reminder that Thomas Devine will be having his Eagle Scout Court of Honor on Saturday April 13th at the Town Hall Ballroom.  Arrival time and further details will be forthcoming.  Please put this on your calendar and plan to be there to celebrate Thomas's achievement of obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout!

Troop Planning & Events:- Nantucket Island - We are still tentatively planning a camping/bike trip to Nantucket Island for June 21-23.  The dates are tentative because we are still confirming that we can get campsite.  We have been having difficulty reaching anyone at Camp Richard to reserve a campsite.  Mr. Holt is working on this diligently and we do hope to have updates very soon.

For any Scouts that have never been to Nantucket with the Troop, this is a great trip that everyone always enjoys.  We head over on a Friday morning and we bring over the Scouts bikes and camping gear.  We spend two nights at BSA Camp Richard and bike around the island, checking out the sights.

Again, we will have more information for everyone as we firm up dates.

- Nantucket Island Shakedown Rides - We will be planning 2 shakedown rides at the Cape Code Canal, prior to the Nantucket Trip, to make sure that all of our Scouts and their bikes are ready to do a lot of riding on Nantucket.

We look forward to seeing our Scouts this Thursday!

Congratulations Eagle Scout Eric Grady!

The Leaders and Scouts of Troop 20 would like to extend our congratulations to our newest Eagle Scout and his family - Eric Grady! 
Eric successfully passed his Eagle Board of Review this evening, Wednesday, March 20, 2018.  Please congratulate him next time you see him.

Well done Eric!

 

 

 

 

 

Offsite Activity this Thursday, March 21st - Mystery Room, Kingston Collection Mall, 6:50PM

Happy Spring Time Troop 20!

This Thursday, March 21st, the parish hall is not available for our use so we will be having an offsite activity instead.  This week's offsite will be at Mystery Room, in the Kingston Mall, 101 Kingston Collection Way, Kingston, MA.

Scouts who have signed up should arrive no later than 6:50PM at the Mystery Room inside the mall.  The event starts at 7:00PM.  We anticipate the cost will be $20 per Scout, although we are trying to get a slightly lower price.  We ask that Scouts please have their money with them that evening.  Food will NOT be provided so Scouts should eat prior to arriving.  If any Scouts would like to eat at the mall food court with their parent or guardian before the event, please make sure you allow enough time so that you are not late to the Mystery Room.  Things start promptly at 7:00 and once you're in the room, you're in for the 50 minutes.

Pickup will be 7:45PM.  We ask that all parents please be there promptly to pickup your Scout so that leaders do not have to hang around.  We can't leave until all Scouts are safely off with their parent or guardian.

We look forward to seeing our Scouts this Thursday!
