Fall Programs Begin Next Week

Weekend fall activities at Base Camp in Milton begin NEXT WEEK on Saturday Sept. 9th! Programs at our new Base Camp Express in Woburn begin the following week and programs at Lone Tree in Kingston, NH begin Sept. 28th.
Start planning your camp-outs and sign up for a Saturday Program - just like a day of Summer Camp!

Looking to Recruit New Families? Invite them for a Saturday to Base Camp and give them a taste of Scouting! 
Looking to onboard new Den Leaders or assistants? Invite them along and recommend the BALOO or IOLS training pathways!  

Start thinking about what your pack, troop, or crew would enjoy on what weekend! Or plan a fun afternoon for your family to visit any of our locations!

*Calling Scouts to Action*
A member of our Scouting community in Malden is in need of assistance. Last Sunday night, longtime Scouter from Troop 603 Malden and Pack 609, Janet Mercer, escaped from her house before it was destroyed in a fire. Her grandchildren who also live in the house are Scouts in Troop 603. 
The family is asking anyone who can help to please donate clothes, non-perishable food and basic household items. Two Scouts ages 10 and 15 are in need of clothes, as is their grandmother, size 2XL shirt. If you'd like to donate funds, you can do so here through the family's GoFundMe page.
Anything is appreciated. We will be collecting physical donations at the Woburn Service Center at 2 Tower Office Park Woburn, MA. Or you can contact the family directly.

A Scout is Helpful. In times of need, the scouting community comes together to help others and support fellow scouters.

Museum of Science Signups Opening
 

The Museum of Science is a great Program Partner of the Spirit of Adventure Council. Several weekends in the winter and spring are set aside for Scouts to explore and spend an night in the Museum in Boston. Registrations Open on Sunday, Sept. 1st!

*This year we have an additional date in November on the 16th. 

An overnight at the Museum of Science is a special program that inspires children to discover science in fun and educational ways. Campers have an opportunity to sleep on the floors of the Museum Exhibit Halls and participate in activities after the Museum closes. A typical Overnight stay includes a variety of hands-on science activities, demonstrations, a Planetarium show, and Omni film, and time to explore the Museum with chaperones.

Arrival and Registration is between 5 and 6:30pm. Overnight officially ends at 11am the next day.
