3/28 –  Troop Meeting @ the Charter School 7 – 8:30pm
  • June Outing – We are excited to be planning our Biking and Camping trip to Nantucket on June 15-17!  In order to confirm all of the required reservations, we need to confirm who will be attending.  The official sign up will be posted soon, but please speak with Matt or Mrs. Parrella to let them know if you will be able to attend.  We will be camping at the Boy Scout Camp – Camp Richard.  Also, we are planning to put all the bikes in the trailer to make it easier and more cost efficient on the ferry.
  • Popcorn – We have had great popcorn fundraising sales over the past couple of years.  Its time to start planning for selling this fall.  If you are interested in helping to organize, please see Jennifer Parrella.  No one can take on the entire program, but it works so well if a few people take some smaller tasks.
