Charitable Giving

The Troop needs your support!

As a reminder, Troop 2 operates independently of any monetary resources from Old Colony Council and the Boy Scouts of America. We are a self funded organization, raising our own monies via donations and the bottle and cans redemption programs to support the troop activities. The Weymouth Heights Club, our sponsoring organization, also supports Troop 2, Pack 2, and Girl Scouts Troop 74383 through local fundraising efforts.

The Weymouth Heights Club is a nonprofit organization that sponsors our troop - donations can include money and time, as well as material goods such as old uniforms, camping equipment, raffle items for our annual Eagle banquet, foodstuffs, etc. If you are interested in donating to support your scout, please consider a direct donation to the Weymouth Heights Club.  The WHC is a nonprofit organization, and your donations may be tax deductible.  Your donations directly benefit the scout programs sponsored by the Weymouth Heights Club. 

Corporate matching is a fantastic way to increase your donation, and donations of equipment and volunteer time are also greatly appreciated. All donations directly benefit your son - they support our activities, they lower the costs to your son, and they assure we can continue with our programs.

A partial list of companies with matching donation programs is available here:

You are also encouraged to continue donating returnable cans and bottles, as this is the sole funding mechanism for the Troop.


As a Reminder

Bottle and Can sorting - Thursday evenings: 7 PM WHC Garage – Processing returnables for redemption.

We need adult volunteers from our organization to help with this program, as this is our fundraising source and assures costs are kept to a minimum. If this program is unsuccessful, other funding sources will be necessary, and costs for all programs will rise.

Assistance can be as simple as dropping off empty case boxes, helping sort on Thursday, picking up the materials on Wednesdays, or dropping off materials at the redemption center.
