I have again registered our troop (by last name only) with Ski Butternut in the Berkshires for discounts throughout this winter season. Anyone in the group (family, friends, etc) is entitled to the discount. The discount is good all-season (including Christmas week) EXCEPT the 3-day MLK and 3-day presidents weekends. Simply show up at the group booth and identify yourself with Glastonbury Troop 156.

22 Scouts biked 22+ miles, on the way to, and on Martha's Vineyard. The Scouts enjoyed ice cream, volleyball at the campground, as well as the gorgeous weekend. 

Add your own pictures to the Vinyard Photo Album.

Many thanks to the Smiths, for coordinating the trip!!

The Apple Festival is looking for volunteers on Oct. 12-14th. While this is not being organized by the Troop, it's a good organization, and will count for service hours.  You can sign up at:

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0b4faaa623abfd0-saturday3

There are 3 days to sign up for and the last spot is for the 5k run that still needs volunteer. You can toggle between days at the top of sign up genius.  Our very own Besty Reed (Nate's mom) will be manning the Pie Booth on Saturday.

Please help support the South Park Inn Soup Kitchen.  It's a great way to give back, and it's one of the few Troop Sponsered community service projects that will satisfy the requirement for the Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge (6 hours for a single organization).

The Soup Kitchen effort is over 3 days, from Monday, Sept 24th, through Wednesday Sept. 26th.  You may sign up for 1, 2 or 3 days.  If you need 6 hours, you will need to sign up for all 3 days. We are looking for both Adult and Scout volunteers. 

• Day 1 - Shopping
• Day 2 - Cooking
• Day 3 - Serving

Alison Arborio is coordinating, but will not be able to volunteer.  Please contact her for questions at ajarborio@hotmail.com. 

This year for our high adventure trip we went camping on an island in Lake George. We went cliff jumping, canoed to Bolton Landing, hiked to the top of Black Mountain (As seen in the picture above), and many other activities. Fun was had by all.
