Troop 79

Winslow Farm Service Project - Troop 79 has been invited to participate in an on-going service project that includes clearing a series of trails at Winslow Farms that will be used for the Winslow Farms ’scariest halloween’ ever!   As many of our current and especially new Scout need to accumulate service hours for advancement, having this service project available to our Troop is a great opportunity.  The only requirement is that two adults must be available to supervise the Scouts – so if you are a Scout in need of service hours be sure to touch base with our Scoutmaster to coordinate a time and date.  This opportunity is being provided due to the excellent work that our Troop has done for the Farm with previous Eagle and Troop Service projects.   These service projects are just a reminder of how important and valued it is for our Troop to support our local community.  Contratulations Troop 79 – job well done!

Spring Camporee was a great success!  Our Scouts took home a number of ribbons, ate great food and had a fun weekend of activities at this years Spring Camporee.   

Taunton Memorial Day Parade (May 28th) - a long-standing tradition for Troop 79 is the participation in the Taunton Memorial Day Parade.  In addition to celebrating all men and women serving in our Armed Services (past and present) marching in the Memorial Day parade is another way for the Troop to express it’s thanks to the communities that support us in so many ways.  Please take the time to sign-up to march in the Memorial Day Parade.  Mr. Auld and Mr. Phalen are the Troop coordinators for this years parade and will be reaching out to all the Scouts to participate in the Parade. 

 EAGLE PROJECTS! We will possibly have up to 5 Eagle projects this year!  Be on the lookout for Life Scouts looking for assistance with their project – they’ll need all the support they can get.
