Along with many other volunteer groups, the scouts helped the Chatham Conservation Foundation with cleaning up trash. Our route was along Old Queen Anne Road from Sam Ryder Rd to the Goose Pond landing. We collected 3 garbage bags of trash.

For our service jobs at Camp Greenough, our troop helped setup chairs, tables and a whiteboard at the new Welcome Center. We also picked up sticks and fallen branches. And we cleared out a few lockers from the basement. Then camp gave us a hot lunch and dessert.

For our third year, we did a Christmas tree pickup in Chatham and Harwich and collected about 80 trees. We had six crews doing the pickups. Many people expressed thanks and several made extra donations. The Christmas tree collection raised $1908 which we donated to the Chatham Children’s Fund and the Family Pantry.

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

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.
