Snow Tubing at SkiWard
We will go Snow Tubing at SkiWard on Saturday March 6 from 6:15-8:30 PM. We were able to secure a limited number of tickets for our Scouts to go Tubing. As result, we are limited to 12, so signup quickly. The cost will be $12 per Scout. We will meet at SkiWard.
Congratulations to Ken
Troop 1 would like to congratulate Ken Cox for obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout. He led a project to construct raised planter beds for the Senior Center here in Northboro. He becomes Troop 1's 104th Eagle Scout. He completed his Eagle Board of Review on 12/28/2020.
Frost Camp
January 8th through the 10th scouts from Northboro Massachusetts and Dorking England are going to participate in Frost Camp. This is a chance to practice some scouting skills, get to know scouts from another country and have a lot of fun. You'll learn about Dorking and Northboro and get to meet some new friends at various events through out the weekend. The FrostCamp Flyer explains some of details and the FrostCamp Agenda has the schedule of events.
Bowl-a-Palooza
On Wednesday January 6th at 7pm, the Troop is going heading over the Apex Center to bowl a few frames. The lanes will be on the troop. Scouts will need to rent their own shoes ($4.50 a pair). The plan is to get two lanes. If demand is strong we will considered getting additional lanes. Please sign up by Monday 1/4 so we can adjust appropriately. We will gather at the lanes.

Amazon Smile is an easy way to support Mayflower Council
Using Amazon Smile is a painless way of supporting the Mayflower Council. Instead of going to amazon.com, you go to smile.amazon.com to make your purchase. The directions for setting it up are easy to follow. We have recently seen reports that Mayflower Council has received over $1000 from this program. With more folks using Smile we help support the council even more.
Welcome new Scouts
