To round out an exciting year of adventure-filled camping trips, Troop 9 will travel to the White Mountains this coming June for a challenging weekend of hiking.

It  has  been  many  years  since  our  Scouts  ventured  into  the  beauty  of  Newfound  Lake,  and  it  is   now  time  to  return  to  the  scene  of  so  many  memorable  days  and  night  in  this  pristine  region  of   Rhode  Island.  

Scouts and parents,

Those who plan to attend the April Spring break trip to Gettysburg are reminded that the second payment is due at this Thursday's (March 15, 2012) Troop meeting. Online payment options are available for this trip, but be sure to read the directions carefully, as payment amounts may vary from party to party depending of individual circumstance.

Troop 9 will head North next month, traveling to Gorham, NH where we will stay at the  Joe  Dodge  Lodge  for  two  nights.  During  the  day  on  Saturday,  the  professional  guides  of  Eastern   Mountain  Sports  have  been  contracted  to  teach  the  Scouts  the  skills  necessary  to  climb  an  ice  wall  safely   and  successfully.  We  have  been  honing  their  climbing  skills  these  past  two  months  through  our  indoor   climbing  program  both  in  December  and  February,  with  some  Scouts  already  earning  the  Climbing  merit   badge  and  several  more  on  the  way  to  completing  the  requirements.    

The Troop's February Newsletter is now available online for viewing and download. Enjoy!

Troop 9 will be holding its annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser on Scout Sunday, February 5th. We are asking each scout to sell a minimum of 5 tickets. Please help pre-sell as many tickets as possible to family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. This fundraiser is very important to the Troop and the funds are greatly needed at this time.
