Boy Scout Troop 25 was able to fill two trailers and a pick up truck with unsold items. We packed up a total of 1,261 pounds of clothing, books, and household items in addition to five furniture pieces and forty two other large items. We hope our work made the clean up process a little less daunting.
Savers will donate $147.77 to Boy Scout Troop 25 for this collection. We feel happy that the left over items will be recycled and will also help Savers with their mission to financially assist over 120 charities including Big Brothers Big Sisters, Easter Seals, Epilepsy Foundation and the Special Olympics with their profits.
…to give out coupons to Owen & Ollies! Go out, have a great meal, have fun, and do it for us! Because on Wednesday, 20% of all your bills will go to Troop 25 if you have a coupon! Try forwarding a copy of your coupon to 10 of your friends, so they can have one too!
It was so good we had to say it twice. We went on board the Intrepid, went on a real submarine, saw the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, paid our respects to the victims of 9-11, saw the blaring lights of Times Square, hopped on board New York’s rails and ferries, and still found time to camp in the woods of Staten Island. To make a long story short, it was a blast.
A friendly reminder that no tobacco products in any form (cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, vaping, or e-cigarettes) are allowed near Scouts or Scouters during any meetings or events. If you have to smoke, do it away from any Scouts and dispose of the cigarette properly.
A scout is reverent. Reverent for the nearly 3,000 lives lost. Reverent for the first responders. Reverent for the towers gone. Troop 25 was fortunate enough to visit the 9-11 memorials. Here’s what we saw.
Week 4 is coming! Don’t forget to complete your pre-requisite requirements now!
On July 9th, we will be doing a ten mile hike along the Mid-State Trail in Massachusetts. We will be meeting at the Mt. Watatic Parking Lot in Ashburnham, MA at 9:00 AM. We’ll hike five miles down the trail, stop for lunch, then hike five miles back.This hike will count toward the Hiking Merit Badge, so it’s a good opportunity for anyone looking to complete that badge. If you would like to go, let Joe or Mr. Wilkerson know.
Thank you to Chunky’s, the Hamlins, the Hamiltons, the Campbell, Mr. Wilkerson, and all the voters for helping with our bake sale! It was a huge success!
