Good evening, Troop 13 families!

Next Tuesday, October 27, is our Fall Court of Honor. This is a special night where we celebrate our Scouts' hard work, dedication, and leadership, presenting them with their newly earned rank advancements and merit badges.
To mark the occasion, we are holding a joint Court of Honor with Troop 56 at their chartered meeting space:

Location: Winthrop Congregational Church Address: 16 North Franklin Street, Holbrook, MA 02343

Details: We will be having a potluck dinner! Please bring a dish to share. Family and friends are warmly encouraged to join us to cheer on the Scouts.

A Big Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent candy bar sales! Funds raised directly support our program by covering the cost of badges and awards. Additionally, the girls are currently designing new Troop 13 t-shirts, and our fundraising proceeds will help defray the cost of ordering them.

Upcoming Dates & Events

Friday, November 20 (Evening) a" Urban Air Trampoline Park (Brockton): The Scouts voted to do a fun jump night! We are working out the final logistics and timing and will follow up shortly with full details and costs.

December 4th-6th Annual "Campsgiving" Trip (Camp Squanto): Mark your calendars! We will be heading down to Plymouth to stay in a winterized cabin at Camp Squanto for our annual Campsgiving weekend feast and outdoor fellowship. We are excited to announce we will be joined by Troop 47 (Randolph) and Troop 22 (Braintree). The girls have also plan on extending an invitation to Troop 164 (Sharon), who shared a campsite with us during summer camp this past July. More details to come.

As always, if you have questions, comments, concerns, or just want to say hello, feel free to reach out by email, text, phone, direct message, carrier pigeon, USPS, or in person at our next gathering.
