Welcome to Troop 437! Proudly sponsored by American Legion post 437 in Westford Massachusetts.

 

 

Are you an Arrow of Light scout looking for a Scout Troop to cross over to?  or maybe you are new to Scouting and want a great Troop to join?

 
Either way, Troop 437 welcomes all youth to come and experience the adventure of scouting!  Visit one of our meetings to experience what Scouting is all about and what makes Troop 437 a great Scout Troop.
 
We meet every Thursday evening when school is in session.  Meetings start at 7:00 pm at the American Legion Post 437 at 114 Dunstable Road.  Feel free to contact us at info@westfordtroop437.us and let us know you are coming or to contact us with any questions.  For more information about the troop, you can start at our About Us webpage.

November backpacking trip signups due THIS WEEK

Posted on Oct 29 2014 - 7:47pm

Signups for the backpacking trip are due at this week's troop meeting.  If you want to attend it is important that you signup this week so that we can ensure equipment and meals are able to be prepared.

The November trip will be a backpacking trip in New Hampshire.  This will be an easy trip meant to be an introductory backpacking experience.  Over the next few weeks the scouts will be reviewing the essentials of successful backpacking at troop meetings.   We will meet at the AMC Mount Cardigan Lodge, 774 Shem Valley Road, Alexandria, NH on Saturday morning, conduct a final gear check and step off on the trail. We will travel between 4 to 6 miles on this introductory backpacking trip. We will stop along the trail for lunch (that your son will bring from home). After lunch and some more exploring we will continue on down the trail to our overnight backpacking site. On Sunday morning we will enjoy a backpacking breakfast, break camp and move to the pickup location at the AMC Mount Cardigan Lodge, 774 Shem Valley Road, Alexandria, NH.
