You might want to pick up the Boston Globe today and turn to Section D–Food. Then look at the center of the page (ABOVE the fold, thank you) and read all about this hotshot Boy Scout troop in Lexington that actually cooks its meals outdoors, of all things, and serves a ton of people by […]

The 2006 Cookoree was a smashing success. Nobody counted how many we fed, but I am guessing that it was at least 60.
It appears that too many cooks do not always spoil the broth because just about everybody had a hand in the preparation of the meal which was beautifully cooked and nicely served. The […]

Troop 160,
I’ve heard some gossip that several scouts are interested in cycling out to the Cook-a-ree next weekend, but so far only one has actually told me that he wants to ride. Mr. Healy has said that he’ll come along, so unless a lot more scouts are coming, we’re covered for adults. If […]

Attached is the flier and sign-up form for the annual Cookeree Campout. We are holding it, as last year, at Camp Acton in Acton, Mass. The campout has been a lot of fun for everyone in the past, particularly since we started producing a fancy feast in the outdoors. Lexington Webelos are our guests at […]

This year’s Cookoree will be November 4-5 at Camp Acton, the same place we had it last year. The Troop, Webelos Scouts, and all their families are welcome. We’ll be roasting turkeys, baking pies, and doing a full Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone’s welcome to stay overnight, or just come for dinner. We […]

The annual White Mountain trip is coming up on Columbus Day weekend. We’ll leave St. Brigid on October 7, and return on October 9. We’ll be camping again this year at Moose Brook State Park, and doing some good hikes. The date is coming right up, so be sure to turn in […]

The day started out with the leader of the expediton and our resident climatologist checked out the water level of the river. It was determined that the trip was still safe to go. After unloading all the canoes at the launching area and all the gears loaded onto the canoes, the troop patiently waited by […]
