Mount Monadnock:  The temperatures were cold this past weekend up at Mount Monadnock, but we all had a great time summiting the mountain!  Saturday was a long day of hiking and climbing but the view from the top was spectacular!  Congratulations to all of our Scouts and Adults who made the trek!

Troop Ski Trip:  Our Ski Trip plans are changing a bit.  It turns out that our lodging arrangements for Mount Abrams have fallen through due to a scheduling conflict but we plan to make arrangements for a different mountain that same weekend.  The leaders are working on the details right now and we'll have an update for you, hopefully, at this week's Troop Meeting, so stay tuned!




Looking for Suggestions:  The Troop Leadership is looking for input from our Scouts for campouts, hikes, or other activities you would like to see on our calendar through the rest of our Scouting Year.  Please feel free to see any of the Scoutmasters with your suggestions and we'll see how many of your ideas we can make happen!




No Troop Meeting Next Week - Happy Thanksgiving!  The leadership of Troop 20 would like to wish everyone a very Happy, Healthy, and Safe Thanksgiving.  Be safe and no turkey fires!

 
We look forward to seeing everyone this Thursday!
