Wednesday, June 14th, is Flag Day.  Our charter organization, American Legion Post 437, is holding its annual Flag Day observance and Flag retirement ceremony.  The Scout Troop will be participating.  All Scouts should attend and should come in full Class A uniform.  The Ceremony starts at 6:00pm - please arrive at 5:30pm so that we can review your role in the ceremony.

This year we are going to combine our Sprign Court of Honor with a Troop BBQ.  The combined event will be held on Friday June 16th at the American Legion post.  Please mark your calendars and come help us celebrate the end of another great year of scouting for Troop 437!  More news will be published soon about the start time of the event and other details.

There will not be any Troop meeting on Thursday June 15th.

The June trip for Troop 437 is a Bicycling Trip on Cape Cod. The ride will be on the Cape Cod Rail Trail and some sections of road. We will be tent camping at Greenough Boy Scout camp in Yarmouth, MA (https://www.scoutscapecod.org/). On Saturday, we will be biking on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Distance and route will depend on several factors including weather, attendees, and timing. Anticipate a ride of 25 – 30 miles.

In addition to the normal camping gear a bicycle is required as well as a helmet. The Troop is arranging for a vehicle to transport the bikes from Westford to the camp grounds – look for an announcement on where to meet in Westford on Saturday morning. Once at the campsite we will depart for our bike ride at 10:30 AM, and have lunch on the trail.

A few items to remember to pack for this trip: helmet, suntan lotion, helmet, bug spray, helmet, rain gear, helmet, layers that can be easily removed during biking, water bottle. And…don’t forget your helmet!
