The September trip will be a visit to Monkey Trunks in Choccorua, NH.

Challenges that include swinging beams, tightropes, rolling logs, hanging tires, cargo nets and more! Enjoy all of these activities as low as 10 feet and as high as 55 feet off the ground!
Last week each patrol build a potting bench for the Westford Academy Environmental Science program. There are 4 more to build so once again this week's troop meeting will be a construction meeting! The eight benches will be used in conjunction with Kyle's Greenhouse and Owens Storage shed projects to enable the school's new program. All materials and tools will be provided.
This weeks troop meeting we are going to finish the planter boxes that we started last week and with the rest of the time we are going to do rank advancement. This is a great opportunity to finish up anything you need for this upcoming court of honor. And we will also have plenty of time for games so people can bring in new games for the troop meeting.
