It was another fun and productive meeting for the scouts of Troop 42! The scouts broke into groups to work on rank advancement requirements, with scouts teaching scouts throughout the evening.

Great job by Bowie and Ollie, who taught various lashing techniques, and Conor, who helped some of our younger members build their first aid skills. It’s always great to see our scouts sharing their knowledge and helping one another advance!

The troop also finalized plans for the upcoming Turkey Shoot. Mr. Scherer discussed wreath sales, and Zach shared details about his Eagle project workday this weekend.

On the subject of Eagle projects, Henry and Will met with Pastor John and I to discuss their upcoming projects. It’s an exciting time for Troop 42!

It was an absolutely beautiful day for the Golf Merit Badge at Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds Golf Course in Marstons Mills! Mr. Mack and I worked with 19 scouts, including six from Troop 42 and a large group from Troop 22 in Worcester.

Great job by Gavin, Jay, Noah, Nolan, Ollie and Vaughn for their hard work today! The scouts learned a lot, practiced their skills and had plenty of fun along the way.

A big thank-you to Mrs. Whritenour for assisting us, and special thanks to Jay and Ollie, both accomplished golfers, for helping demonstrate the different swings and clubs. It’s always great to see our scouts sharing their skills and helping others learn!

Golf is a wonderful sport that teaches patience, honesty and perseverance while giving you a chance to enjoy the outdoors with others. It means a lot to me to share the game with so many young people, knowing it’s something they can enjoy for the rest of their lives. Hopefully, today was the beginning of many more days on the course!

It was a fun and productive meeting tonight for the scouts of Troop 42! Scouts broke into patrols to plan menus for the upcoming Turkey Shoot campout. We also spent plenty of time on advancement, with a number of scouts working toward their next rank.

And, as always, we wrapped things up with some fun! It was great to see everyone again after being away last week.

It’s been a rainy but really fun Saturday for the scouts of Troop 42 at Camp Squanto! The scouts were up early cooking a big breakfast before heading out for a five-mile hike, some fishing and plenty of exploring around camp.

A little rain hasn’t fazed this crew one bit! They’re having a great time, building their camping skills and enjoying the weekend together. Plenty of smiles despite the soggy weather!

The Troop 42 Young Guns are camping at Camp Squanto this weekend! We’ve got a number of first-time campers excited for their first camping adventure, with more folks rolling in tomorrow. There’s a fun weekend ahead!

The scouts got right to work setting up camp and building a campfire. Now they’re enjoying a few rounds of card games—a great way to wrap up their first evening!

With homecoming festivities keeping many of our older scouts busy, this weekend belongs to our younger crew. Squanto is the perfect place for them to build their camping skills, gain confidence and have some fun together!

Big thanks to Mr Burns, Mr Chevrier and Mr Kovacs for handling the adult duties and making this weekend possible!

Troop 42 got a lot done at tonight’s meeting! The scouts wrapped up preparations for this weekend’s camping trip and spent some time organizing their gear. SPL Henry and several older scouts also helped our younger scouts work on rank advancement.

Of course, there was time for a few games before the evening wrapped up. A typical T42 meeting—a little bit of everything!

Special thanks to Assistant Scoutmaster Dave for stepping in during my absence!

Troop 42 had a big crew working the start/finish line at the Cape Cod Marathon today! Great job by T42 scouts Cole, Declan, Ollie, Owen, Vaughn and Will. Thanks as well to Connor, Vera, Mr Chevrier, Mrs Goldstone, Mrs Lucey and Mrs Whritenour for rounding out the group!

Our crew helped deliver water and Gatorade, medals and heat sheets, while also managing some of the composting, recycling and trash bins. Everyone pitched in to keep things running smoothly!

It was an incredibly exciting race, with a number of records broken. The cool, overcast weather made for perfect marathon conditions—and a great day supporting the runners!

Troop 42 scouts Chris, Grayson, Will and Zach helped staff the registration booth at the Cape Cod Marathon Expo at Mullen-Hall today, distributing bibs and T-shirts to race participants.

Tomorrow, another T42 crew will be at the start/finish line, helping run a water station and assisting with the winners’ medals.

Great job, scouts! A beautiful day to get out and support our community!

Tonight, Troop 42 celebrated our Fall Court of Honor—our first at Heritage Christian Church! The scouts did an awesome job running the program and made it a special evening.

We recognized 75 merit badges and 8 rank advancements! Congratulations to Caden and Cody on earning Scout rank; Jamie, Ronan and Rowan on Second Class; Chris on Star; and Grayson and Liam on Life. Outstanding work, scouts!

Special congratulations to Ronan for earning his God & Church medal and religious knot! Thank you to Pastor Brittany Feldott of Cape Cod Church for working with Ronan and presenting his medal this evening.

Thank you to all our parent volunteers who helped with setup and cleanup and brought wonderful dishes to share. Special thanks to Mrs Burns for the amazing meatballs! A huge thank-you also goes to Miss Erin for bringing the program, food and awards together.

We missed many of our older scouts who had football and other school commitments, but those who attended enjoyed a fun evening celebrating their accomplishments.

Finally, congratulations to SPL Henry and his leadership team for doing an excellent job leading the evening. We’re proud of all our scouts!
