Troop Meeting November 7, 2024, 7-8:30pm, Parish Hall

 Hello, Troop 20!

Just a reminder that we have a Troop Meeting on Thursday, November 7, 2024 at the Parish Hall. One thing we will be formalizing is the Veterans' breakfast we are hosting on Sunday, November 10th, 8am-10-am. We need to review arrival time and prep.

IN ADDITION, THERE WILL BE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM BSA NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS AT THE BREAKFAST, TAKING PICTURES. NO SWEATPANTS OR JOGGING SHORTS.

Also, don't forget that Monday November 11th is Veterans' Day and you will be marching in the parade. I'd also ask you to attend the ceremony, but I know that's not always possible. 

See you Thursday.

 Hello Troop 20!

Just a friendly reminder that we have a Troop meeting on 7-8:30pm Thursday 10/10/24 at the Parish Hall.

Are we up for some pumpkin carving on Thursday October 24th?? The Middleboro Parks Department's annual Ghost Drive will be taking place Friday October 25th and Saturday October 26th. We've done this in the past and it counts as 1.5 hours of community service for anyone in need of service hours-whether you need them for school graduation requirements, rank advancements or for whatever you may need them. Let me know Thursday so I can contact the Parks Commission.
