The February trip for Troop 437 is sledding and other winter outdoor fun at Camp Resolute in Bolton, MA. We will be winter camping outdoors with the Rifle Range cabin available in the event of extreme temperatures, campers without adequate gear, and/or less adventurous campers. The cabin has electricity and a wood stove.

Dear Scouting Parents,

Since we did not sell enough cookie dough or coffee to meet our projected expenses this year, we are looking for another way to bring in money to the troop.  We are hoping to come up with a fundraising opportunity that does *not* require the boys to do door-to-door selling.  WE NEED HELP! We will be getting together to brainstorm during the regularly scheduled Boy Scout meetings and could use as many ideas as possible.

Yours in scouting,
Martin Turnbull
Committee Chairperson

The SPL and PL elections are this week.  The troop need all the scouts to turn out to participate in this important event.  Since this is also the night before mid-terms for WA students we will keep the meting focused only on elections and attempt to end it early.

It looks like it will be great skiiing and boarding this weekend - lots of great snow - but it is also going to be cold.  Please rememebr to come prepared to keep warm with layers of clothing and coverage for all skin.  If you have not submitted  permission slips or waiver forms yet please do so this week.

We have a number of merit badge offerings coming up.  If you are interested in one of the following please contact the Scoutmaster and Merit  badge couselor for more information.

Congratulations to Danny T. who sucessfully completed his Eagle Board of Review!   Danny's Eagle Project was constructing a new bridge accross the Snake Medow Brook allowing for the extension of the Gould Road trail.  The Eagle Board was impressed with the planning on the project and the work that Danny needed to accomplish to get Town approval.
