Troop 2 Weekly Update


- Scouts enjoyed a night of video games on Monday June 24th to usher in Summer Vacation.

- A Troop 2 parent, Teresa Quinton, is having a Fundraising Yard Sale to raise money for the Breast Cancer 3 Day walk. To help with this event, donations of saleable items are greatly appreciated. Announcement is below.

Yard Sale Items needed for my July 6th "Castoff for a Cause" Yard Sale

Although I am not walking the Breast Cancer 3Day this year, I have decided to hold my annual yard sale to raise funds to make a difference.  Join me in cleaning out the corners and closets to raise money for this important cause. Items can be dropped off anytime at 79 Front St.  If I am not at home kindly set things in front of the barn doors.    If you need items picked up give me a ring at 781-985-6475.
