Parents,

Last year we introduced you to Scoutbook. Many are setup and using it. If you are not, please follow the procedure attached. 

By now you should have received an invite to Scoutbook a Scouting BSA online tool to track scout achievement. If you have not received an invite, it means you are already connectioned to your scout. If so, start at step two in the attached quick setup guide. If you received the invite, start at step 1. See button below.

Yours in Scouting,

Troop 437 will be carving pumpkins on Saturday, October 31st from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.  Come out and show your creative skills!

What: Pumpkin Carving
When: Saturday, October 31st from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
Where: American Legion Post 437 - backfield - 114 Dunstable Rd., Westford, MA

The Troop will provide a pumpkin for all participants along with having a supply of carving tools.  Scouts can bring their own pumpkin and tools if they would like - if a scout is going to use a knife to carve the pumpkin then they also need to bring their Totin' Chip card.

Pleaseby clicking this button to let us know you are coming so we can make sure to have enough pumpkins.  While there is no charge for this event, a $5 donation would be appreciated to cover the costs of the pumpkins.

As the weather is supposed to be sunny but cold, please come dressed appropriately.

All participants need to bring:

• Signed Scout Health Card
• Waterbottle
• Knife, Totin'' Chip, and pumpkin if you would like
• A camp mug if you have one - there will be warm drinks available  

 The Troop has decided to invest in a supply of tents that Scouts can use on camping trips.  These will be 2 and 3 person 3-season tents suitable for most all of our Troop trips.   We expect that the Tents will be ready to borrow for the April 13th camping trip.  As we are starting with a modest number of tents, scouts with their own personal tents should continue to use them.

If you would like to borrow a tent please contact your quartermaster at the meetings prior to the Trip.  Scouts will be given the tent at the meeting before the trip and will be responsible for taking it home from the trip to open it up, air it out and let it dry.  Tents should be returned to the Troop the week after the camping trip and returned to the quartermaster.

Parents:  If you haven't already, please complete the survey on troop activities during the pandemic.  There are only 6 questions and it should be very quick. Your feedback is very important to us.
