The Weymouth Heights Club, Proud Sponsor of Troop 2



The Weymouth Heights Club has been the sponsoring organization for our Troop for close to 80 years. We conduct our weekly meetings on this location, as we have since 1934. Scouts have also gathered here for canoe trips, summer camp, weekend campouts, and cookouts. The WHC also sponsors Cub Scout Pack 2 which meets regularly during the school year in the hall, and a Girl Scout Troop that meets monthly.

This organization is a nonprofit, volunteer group, with the goal to improve and enrich the lives of the youth of Weymouth by sponsoring and organizing youth and community groups. Membership in the organization is open, and we encourage parents of scouts in our Troop as well as the general public to join.

Our Troop is thankful to the WHC for the use of the hall, and for their support over the past 80 years.

The Weymouth Heights Club building is a former Weymouth fire station, which closed in 1922. The property includes a large hall, garage, and storage area for equipment.

In 1985, the flag pole in front of the building was dedicated to Commander Haig Alemian, a Troop 2Eagle scout, and the brick building behind the Clubhouse was dedicated to Franklin Pratt, who served as Scoutmaster from 1938 to 1974.

Recent Eagle scout projects on the site included the addition of a memorial to Ron Parry, Scoutmaster from 1974-2006, a new rear deck and a replacement fence, with landscaping and site cleanup.

Over the years the exterior of the building has been modified, as shown in the pictures below.
