- From Dave:
- Troop 19 has been asked to assist with Braintree’s 25th Relay for Life.
- Michelle Maloney (former Pack 22 Den Leader) has asked Troop 19 again this year to help with event set-up at French’s Common (next to Braintree Town Hall, 1 John F. Kennedy Memorial Dr.).
- Scouts are needed to help participants move gear from their cars to their sites, and to assist with setting up tents, tables, and other miscellaneous items.
- Morning shift: 9:00 AM to after the 1:00 PM flag ceremony.
- New this year: the troop has also been asked to lead a flag ceremony at 1:00 PM. Scouts should have their Class A uniform for the ceremony.
- Michelle is also looking for anyone who may be available (to return) to help with breakdown at 8:00 PM.
- Possible evening shift (if we have enough volunteers): 7:45–9:00 PM (to assist with breakdown/closing).
- Depending on the number of scouts who volunteer, we may also be able to assist as parking attendants—more details to come.
- Call to action: If you can help, please volunteer for the morning shift and (if you’re available) indicate interest in the possible evening shift so we can confirm whether we have enough coverage.
- Sign up: Please check the sign-up sheet at Monday’s meeting.
- Adults: We could use a few additional leaders to help supervise, please email Dave Curran: davthocur@hotmail.com
- Abigail Adams Birthplace Fall Cleanup – NEXT SATURDAY Saturday November 29th in the morning with a rain date of Sunday. We perform this cleanup service annually.
- We start working at 9AM and with enough help it only takes 1-2 hours to complete.
- 180 Norton Street Weymouth MA
- We need Scouts and adults with rakes, leaf blowers and other outdoor cleanup gear.
- Wear your Class B uniform so everyone knows who is doing this work. We do it every year for them!
- “Tanks-a-Lot!” to Hank Goldman for coordinating this service project every year.
- Troop Service Project in October – We are planning to finish painting our storage container up at the Sons of Italy as well as organizing our gear in the container.
- The plan right now is to do this in the morning of the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend (rain date Sunday) – October 11th starting at 9AM until we finish the job.
- If you are around that weekend, we could use your help. That includes ADULTS to perform work that youth are not permitted to do in Scouting.
- Moose Lodge Cleanup – Put in Saturday, May 31st starting at 9AM in your calendars for a cleanup at the Braintree Moose Lodge. They allow us and Pack 19 to meet at their facility weekly for no cost, let’s help them do a little outdoor cleanup.
- We plan to also send a small group over to the Abigail Adams house to do a quick cleanup there. We will likely all meet at the Moose and split up from there.
- Sons of Italy Service Project – SUNDAY June 29th
- Outdoor cleanup and repairs to our storage container
- The Sons of Italy allow us to store our shipping container on their property and use their parking lot for activities. We would like to perform a service project for them on a weekend in June. We also have some work to do to our container.
- Braintree Relay for Life Service Opportunity – 5/17
- Via Dave Curran (davthocur@hotmail.com)
- Michelle Maloney has contacted us to see if Troop 19 could volunteer scouts for a few hours to help set up for the Relay for Life event in Braintree at French’s Common (Town Hall) on Saturday, May 17th, 2024. Last year we had about 6-7 scouts (can always take more) which was enough to assist with the unloading of trucks and setting up of tents. Michelle is a Den Leader Emerita from Pack 22, and has requested our assistance previously.
- They are looking for help from 9AM-12PM for setup; if you really want to help out they could even use extra hands starting at 7:30AM.
