We will have a troop court of honor and cook out Sunday, Sept. 15th from 2-4pm at Camp Denison in Georgetown. Immediately following, there will be an Eagle Court of Honor for Sam and James from 4-6pm. Please register for both events including your guests.

You probably have seen the flags on the town commons by now. They are for a Flag Day event this Saturday sponsored by the Lawrence Exchange Club called the "Field of Honor." Troop 82 will be participating in this event by performing a ceremony called the "13th Fold." Please make plans to either attend the ceremony and/or help set-up this Saturday.

You must wear your class A unfiorm, long pants, and boots to the camp out this weekend. These are safety requirements by the MBTA and you won't be allowed in the train yard without them.

Let's spread some more bark mulch! Saturday 5/4, 9am at Patriots Memorial Park next to the Stevens Library. Dress appropriately for the weather, bring work gloves -- we're usually okay with rakes and shovels, but if you have a garden/pitch fork or a wheelbarrow, we can really use it. Usually done by 11am, even earlier if everyone shows up!
