BREAKING NEWS: Troop Meeting Cancelled for tonight, Thursday April 15th

Hello Troop 20!

BREAKING NEWS:  We were just informed that the town of Middleborough has flipped back into the red zone for being high risk of COVID-19 transmission.  As a result, the archdiocese has temporarily suspended our use of the Sacred Heart Parish Hall.  Because of this, we are needing to cancel tonight's Troop Meeting.

As next week is school break, we will not have a Troop meeting on the 22nd either.

Please keep an eye on the blog for updates.  We are hopeful that the town will move out of the red zone soon as we can begin meeting at the hall.

Also, please watch the blog for updates regarding the upcoming camping trip.  We have learned that Camp Sayer is full for the 23rd and 24th so we are looking into options for another site.  Stay tuned...

We hope everyone enjoys the school break and we hope to see all of our Scouts very soon.  Stay safe and healthy!

Troop Meeting - Thursday 4/15 7:00 - 8:30PM / Sacred Heart Parish Hall

 Hello Troop 20!

It's hard to believe that when we met as a Troop on March 12, 2020 things would so dramatically change for all of us.  It's been a very different year for us but we think it's been a really good year for all of our Scouts, much of it thanks to the generosity of Reedy's Archery, who offered us the use of their downstairs range to use as our meeting place.  Reedy's allowed us to continue bringing our Scouts together, week after week, and we can't thank them enough for their support and hospitality.  We are working on a nice thank you gift for them and will let everyone know when it's time to present them with it.

While Reedy's has been our temporary home to keep our Troop going these past few months, the time has come for us to begin returning to some sense of normalcy.  After 13 months away, the leadership of Troop 20 is excited to say:

There will be a Troop Meeting this Thursday, April 15th, at 7:00pm at Sacred Heart Parish Hall!  We are returning to our regular meeting time of 7:00-8:30PM.

Please remember that we line up for our opening ceremony at 7:00PM so you need to plan to be at the hall about 10 minutes earlier.  Please arrive wearing your Class A uniform.  Also, please remember that all Scouts should be bringing their Scout Handbooks and backpacks to every Troop meeting.  For new Scouts, we can cover what you'll need for your Troop meeting backpack.

Upcoming Events:

4/15	At this week's Troop meeting, we will be setting up and inspecting our Troop tents so that we can assess their condition.  We haven't been able to use them in quite some time so we need to make sure they are clean and serviceable.
5/1	Mulch Spreading.  Details to follow.

Help Needed:  In order for us to return to the Parish Hall, we are going to need 2-3 volunteers (Scouts and/or leaders) to stay after the meeting for a short period of time and help us sanitize the hall.  We also need sanitation supplies, as the church does not provide those for us, so any donations would be greatly appreciated.

We look forward to seeing all of Scouts this Thursday back at

Sacred Heart Parish Hall!

Returning to Sacred Heart Parish Hall

 Hello Troop 20!

We have received word from Sacred Heart that we can once again meet at the Parish Hall for our Troop meetings.  With this news, our meeting schedule will now be as follows:

Monday, April 5th - We will be meeting at Reedy's Archery at 6:00PM.  This will be our last meeting there.  We are asking all Scouts to be in uniform as we will be taking a Troop picture as part of a Thank You gift that we will be presenting to Reedy's in the near future.  We would like to see ALL of our Scouts there to get a great picture.

Thursday, April 15th - We will begin meeting at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall and returning to our old Troop Meeting Schedule of 7:00 - 8:30PM.  If anyone feels this time will present a problem with being able to attend Troop Meetings, please be at the Troop Meeting on the 5th so that we can discuss options.

We are looking forward to getting back to our old routine!
