MEMORIAL DAY PARADE 🇺🇸

Today, Scouts from Pack 89 and Troop 87 were honored to march alongside our community during North Andover’s Memorial Day Parade in remembrance of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

The parade concluded at Ridgewood Cemetery where our Scouts proudly helped open the ceremony by leading the Pledge of Allegiance. It was a meaningful opportunity for our Scouts to show respect, demonstrate patriotism, and reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Thank you to all of the families, leaders, veterans, and community members who participated in today’s events and helped make this tradition so special. Very special thanks to our own Dave Hruban and also to Joe Leblanc of the Veterans Services of North Andover and Boxford.

We remember and honor those who gave everything for our freedom. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 MEMORIAL DAY PARADE 🇺🇸

Troop 87 is privileged to once again join Veterans Services for North Andover and Boxford in marching in the town’s Memorial Day Parade this year as we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We will meet at the Town Common at 9:45 AM with the parade stepping off promptly at 10:00 AM. Please have your Scout dressed in their Class A uniform for the event.

The parade route will conclude at Ridgewood Cemetery, where the ceremony will open with the Scouts leading the Pledge of Allegiance. The formal ceremony typically lasts about an hour, so please be sure your Scout brings water, as we want everyone to stay hydrated and safe in the warmer weather.

We look forward to representing Troop 87 and taking part in this important community tradition

NORTHERN LIGHT DISTRICT RECOGNITION NIGHT!

On May 6th, the Northern Light District held their annual awards dinner to recognize the hard work and dedication of the adult volunteers who make the Scouting programs possible in North Andover and surrounding communities.

We would like to applaud and congratulate all those who have devoted their time and energy to making our North Andover program such a success!

Thank you very much to our amazing parent volunteers — without you stepping forward, we would not be the fun and engaging program we are today!!!

We would like to especially thank Kim Heart, who received the District Award of Merit, the highest honor the District can bestow, and Brian Fulks, Scoutmaster of Troop 87, who received the Unit Leader Award of Merit for continually providing an outstanding program at the Troop level.

We would also like to recognize the Troop Spark Plug recipients: Connie Chin, Mridul Kontamwar, and Jeff Keeton. This award is presented to individuals who go above and beyond expectations to provide the “spark” that infuses enthusiasm, energy, and fun into their unit program.

Thank you to all of the dedicated leaders and volunteers throughout Pack 89 and Troop 87 who work tirelessly behind the scenes to create meaningful experiences and lifelong memories for our Scouts.

Your commitment, leadership, and passion for Scouting truly make a difference in the lives of our youth and our community. Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees, and thank you for everything you do to help our Scouts learn, grow, and succeed!
