This Sunday’s meeting is going to be hiking Stevens trail at Weir Hill starting at 2:00.  We will be meeting at the parking lot for Stevens Coolidge.

The custodial staff at the school is too busy adding virus safety measures they can not get to the grounds before school begins. We will meet in the parking lot this Saturday morning at 8am to help weed, rake, and clean-up the playground and surrounding areas. Bring gloves, water, and you face covering.

We are starting to run low on fire starters so we will be making some more. Bring any old candles or scraps of wax if have any. We also need larger metal soup or coffee cans to melt the wax. Mr. Keeton will bring some extra stoves for us to try some different things to cook as well. We have pop-up shelters in case of rain. Meet at the upper parking lot behind the sanctuary Tuesday at 5:30pm.

The Exchange Club of Lawrence and the Andovers has asked us to help out with their Field of Honor again this year. You may remember this from last year when we helped set up and take down 100 flags on the town common. That went so well last year that this year we are doing 500 flags! We will need volunteers to help set up the flags on Saturday, June 20th at 9:00am and then again to help take them down on July 5th starting at 5pm.

Unfortunately, summer camp has been canceled this year. We will look for alternative activities we can do safely though. If you have any ideas for things to do, see the senior patrol leader or Mr.

It is a nice day today and you should enjoy it. Our friends over at Friends of North Andover Trails would like our help with a little project. It's easy and you can do it while keeping a safe distance from others. First, go visit the FONAT web site, (https://www.fonat.org/trails) and pick a trail in the area. Next, take a small notebook, pencil and a garbage bag. Then go walk that trail. On you walk, pick-up any trash that is reachable from the trail. While you walk, take notes the condition of trail, such as downed trees or washed-out area. Take the trash home and dispose of it and send your notes FONAT through their web site. Some rank requirements you can do on your hike are: 2nd Class: 4, and 1st Class: 5a. You can also work on the Hiking and Geocaching merit badges.
