Troop 160 Lexington

I am going to make the call without further delay.

There is snow in the air and it is just 12:30 PM. I have checked the weather radar and the storm is moving in as planned. Up to 10 inches of snow will fall between 3 PM and midnight. Even if […]

Scouts are intrepid. We all know that. But we pay attention to safety. We also know that since we live close to the seacoast, weather forecasts can be wildly inaccurate.
However …
I just got home to find that the forecast is for 6-10″ of snow starting in the afternoon and lasting several hours. […]

Troop 160 started a tradition a few years ago. For a variety of reasons we started lighting the bandstand in Hasting Park, across from the Hayden Ice Centre, for most of December. If you haven’t seen it before I can tell you it looks really neat all lighted up. Many societies have […]

The Minuteman has an article on the Veterans’ Day Parade, which mentions the Scouts: “It was just a great, fantastic day.” The article also features a video of the parade, and the Scouts appear.

1. A Cub leader has shared with me that when one of his Cubs needed first aid, a Scout who […]

Several quick notes, a couple of which repeat information sent out recently by the SPL:

Don’t forget about the Cook-O-Ree this Saturday. Given past numbers, an amazingly small number of Scouts have signed up so far. Remember—the whole family is invited. We cook turkeys out in the woods and then enjoy a feast of epic proportions. […]

I came to hard Nalgene water bottles late in life. I always preferred soft bottles, but then I was given a white, stiff, translucent Nalgene which worked out so when I was given three of those brightly colored, hard, water bottles as gifts, I didn’t see any difference and switched over. Now, after a couple […]

The famous T160 Cookeree will be held the weekend of Nov 3-4th, 2007 at Camp Acton (map: same location as last year).
You can download the flyer with details here. It includes a sign-up sheet that should be returned to me by Saturday, Oct 27th. You can return the sign-up sheet and payment […]

Three things I want to make sure you know about:

Saturday, Oct 20th, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM: I am looking for 3-4 volunteers to build, tend, and supervise a Cub Scout campfire in Willard Woods. After lighting the fire, there will be the standard skits and songs along with some marshmallow roasting. […]
