🇺🇸Today, our Scouts had the honor of marching in the Veterans Day Parade, paying tribute to the brave men and women who have served our country. Veterans Day is more than just a parade. It's a reminder of the sacrifices made, the courage shown, and the freedoms we are fortunate to enjoy. As Scouts, we hope to carry forward the values of service, respect, and gratitude that our veterans have shown us.

To all who have served, thank you. Your sacrifices will never be forgotten. ❤️🤍💙

Thank You New Bedford!!!

A huge THANK YOU to the wonderful residents of New Bedford who took the time to fill their bags and leave food on their doorsteps for our Scouts to collect today!

Because of your kindness and generosity, our Scouts were able to collect much-needed food to help fill the shelves of our local food pantries and support families in our community.

Scouting for Food is about so much more than collecting donations. It's about neighbors helping neighbors, teaching our Scouts the importance of giving back, and showing just how much we can accomplish when a community comes together.

We are so proud of our Scouts for their hard work, and even more grateful to live in a community that continues to show up for one another.

From all of us involved in Scouting for Food 2026, THANK YOU for helping us make a difference, one doorstep at a time! ⚜️🥫

🎃👻 Getting into the Halloween spirit while giving back!

Who says volunteering can't be a little spooky?! We traded our everyday clothes for Halloween costumes and spent some time volunteering at Gifts to Give!

Because Halloween isn't just about tricks and treats… it's also about making a difference! 🕸️🎃

On July 4, 1776, a group of ordinary people made an extraordinary decision. They chose courage over comfort, hope over fear, and the belief that freedom was worth fighting for. Their sacrifice gave birth to a nation built on liberty and the promise of a brighter future.
Nearly 250 years later, that same spirit lives on, not only in those who serve our country, but also in those who choose to serve their communities.
As Scouts, we learn that true patriotism is more than waving a flag. It is showing kindness when no one is watching, helping a neighbor in need, standing up for what is right, and leaving the world a little better than we found it. Every act of service, every good turn, and every moment of leadership honors the legacy of those who came before us. May we be inspired to live lives of character, service, and gratitude.
From our Troop 24 family to yours, we wish you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Fourth of July.

"The future of America is built by those who choose to serve others today."
