Troop 121
"AUBURN, ME – Scouts from Troop 121 in Auburn prepare this year’s mailing of tag for their annual Christmas tree recycling program. Pictured from left to right are: Alex Burnham, Jacob Parcell, Cayden Moody, Anthony Seddon, Logan Dumont, Darius Reaves and Jackson Roux.
For the 14th year, the Boy Scout Troop 121 will again pick up Christmas trees in Lewiston and Auburn. While the cities provide locations for free tree disposal, they no longer collect the trees at curbside. For a minimum donation of $5, the Scouts will pick up Christmas trees on Saturday, January 10, 2026, and Sunday, January 11, 2026. For safety reasons the trees should not be placed curbside until the morning of January 10th.
Money raised by the program goes directly to troop scouting activities. Troop 121 was created to help give youth with special physical, mental and emotional challenges the opportunity for success in a safe scouting environment that builds character, encourages citizenship, teaches life skills and develops personal fitness.
To make a pick-up request, send a donation by Jan. 8th to Troop 121, United Methodist Church, 439 Park Ave., Auburn, ME 04210. The troop, in turn, will send a tag to place on the tree when it is put curbside. For more information please call 783-0790."
