By the entrances to Kate Gould park, our troop has been selling light sticks, glow sticks and spinning stars at the band concerts on Friday nights at 8pm this summer. These sales are a major fundraiser for our troop activities.

Our troop was asked by the town to carry the town banner and had the honor to carry the US Flag at the head of the parade together with the veterans.

 

Our troop participated in Chatham’s Memorial Day Service by leading the Pledge of Allegiance, and as color guard. The service was touching, and the weather was beautiful.

Our troop placed US flags for veterans in the People’s cemetery. The town provided the flags and the flag holders were already in place.

Together with the girl scouts and cub scouts, our troop did the flag ceremony and pledge of allegiance for the opening of the annual town meeting.

Our troop helped with the Chatham Conservation Foundation clean up by picking up trash along Bridge Street and Morris Island Road.

For our service project at Camp Greenough, our troop did painting inside the administration building. It was a good thing that our work was inside since it was a cold and wet day.

Using four teams of scouts and parents with trucks, we collected Christmas trees from Chatham, Harwich, Orleans and Eastham, and took them to the transfer station. Donations were collected as a fundraiser for our troop. This was our second year collecting Christmas trees.

During Christmas stroll, we sold Chatham Angel Fund ornaments and holiday light necklaces. It was a chilly evening with a strong wind such that we had to tie or tape down everything on our table.

All of our sales were donated to the Chatham Angel Fund and we raised $1019.

The scouts did a color guard and helped lead the Pledge of Allegiance at the Chatham Veterans Day service which was held inside the Community Center.
