Troop 49 Kingston

The Kingston Public Library needed some help cleaning up their courtyard and the scouts of Troop 49 were happy to lend a hand.

Upon the start of this school year, Troop 49 welcomed a new Scout leadership team!

At the beginning of the school year, Patrick stepped into the role of Senior Patrol Leader, with Gabe serving as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. We’re excited to see them take on these roles and help lead Troop 49 into its next chapter. ⚜️

We also want to take a moment to recognize our outgoing Senior Patrol Leader, Sam, and Assistant Patrol Leader, Max, and thank them for their leadership throughout the past year.

Sam took on the role of SPL during a time of growth and change for our troop. Last fall, Troop 49 welcomed six new 6th-grade Scouts, and Sam and Max played an important part in helping them find their place in the troop.

For those six new Scouts, the year was full of firsts: learning new Scout skills, earning their first rank advancements, figuring out how everything works at troop meetings and campouts, attending Merit Badge University, and experiencing summer camp at Camp Squanto for the very first time.

Watching these Scouts go from learning the ropes to confident members of the troop has been one of the highlights of the year. Sam and Max helped create an environment where our newest Scouts could learn, participate, ask questions, try new things, and become part of the Troop 49 community while also leading the existing Troop members, supporting them in their advancement, and learning and growing together.

That’s what we hope Scouting will be for every new Scout who joins us — a place to learn new skills, challenge yourself, make friends, try things you’ve never done before, and discover what you’re capable of.

Thank you, Sam and Max, for the time, patience, and leadership you gave Troop 49 this past year. We’re grateful for everything you did to help our troop grow and, especially, to help our newest Scouts get started on their Scouting journey.

And congratulations to Patrick and Gabe as they take on their new leadership roles! We’re looking forward to seeing where they lead us next.

**Are you a 6th, 7th, or 8th, grader who’s curious about Scouts? Come check out Troop 49!** You don’t need to know anything about Scouting ahead of time. We’ll teach you the skills, introduce you to the adventure, and help you find your place in the troop.

Troop 49 meets Wednesdays at 6:30 PM on the lower level of The Reed in Kingston. Scouts from Kingston, Halifax, and Plympton are welcome!

What will your son actually learn in Scouts? A lot more than you might think!

As Scouts in work through their first few ranks, they learn practical skills that build confidence, independence and leadership:

• How to respond when someone is injured
• How to cook a meal and safely handle food
• How to pitch a tent and take care of camping gear
• How to use a map, compass and GPS
• How to safely use outdoor tools
• How to tie knots and lashings
• How to plan an outing
• How to set personal fitness goals
• How to participate in community service
• How to lead and teach other Scouts
• How to recognize and respond to unsafe situations

And along the way, they spend time outside, with other kids, learning through experience instead of sitting in a classroom.

Troop 49 Kingston is looking for new Scouts, grades 6 and up. No prior Scouting experience is required.

Interested? We'd love to talk with you. (It's never too late to join! Your son can start today!)

Come see what Troop 49 is all about!

Today, the scouts helped with an Eagle Scout project. Many hands make light work. It’s always great to see these boys work together on these wonderful projects.

Troop 49 finished up a week at Camp Squanto where new scouts learned about how to properly handle a knife, ax, and saw, they took classes that covered cooking, first aid, swimming, and more! The older scouts learned about exploration, metalwork, space exploration, climbing, team building, and more!

The Troop came in 2nd in the Apache race around the camp and had a wonderful, activity-packed week and grew as individuals and as a Troop.

These are our future leaders.

Would you like to support Kingston’s Troop 49 but you’re not really sure how? Join the Lions Club!

Troop 49 is fortunate to be chartered by the Kingston Lions Club, which is all about giving back to our community — supporting local causes, helping neighbors in need, providing scholarships, and making Kingston a better place to live. They’re the kind of people who quietly step up and make good things happen.

They’re looking for more members who want to help out, but it’s not a huge commitment. It’s a great way to meet people, support the community, and be part of something positive (and have some fun along the way!).

Please joining the Kingston Lions Club and helping continue the great work they do, including supporting Troop 49.
