Troop 2 visits the Town Council Meeting 9/20

Fifteen scouts from Troop 2 visited the Town Council meeting to complete work on their Communications merit badge.

Our scouts were greeted by Mayor Kay before the meeting, and later welcomed by Vice President Patrick O'Connor during the Announcements.

Scouts were there to observe the proceedings and the process by which our elected representatives interacted, and we discussed these aspects of the meeting afterward. We were fortunate enough to be present for both a public hearing and discussion of a zoning amendment, which provided alternative processes for us to compare and contrast.



A big thanks to Mr Keenan and Mrs Curran for attending the meeting with us, and to them as well as Mrs Ziegler and Mr Bruynell for their assistance transporting scouts from the meeting to the Gym Night.
