We will be volunteering at the Merrimack Valley Food Bank on Friday, November 10! Each year the troop volunteers to assist the food bank with sorting cans, preparing food bags, stocking shelves, or anything they need help with when we are there. It's a great time, as we work as a team, build camaraderie, and all for a great cause! We will deliver our turkeys at the same time. This will count as volunteer time for those scouts that need volunteer hours for rank advancement.

Spirit of Adventure Council’s University of Scouting will be an exciting day of Scouting camaraderie and learning for adult volunteers. This one-day training event is designed for all Scout leaders regardless of experience. Meet and talk with representatives, outfitters and experts from Scouting and the community. Register before Oct. 25th to receive a discount!

It is a tradition for our troop to donate turkeys to the Merrimack Valley Food Bank during our Veteran's Day work day. Our goal is 100 turkeys which will provide several hundred meals for families in need. Please donate by October 28 at: http://www.friendsoftroop81.org/troop81turkeydrive/
