We've been offered an opportunity to take over a stand to sell items and present information about our programs at the Great Pumpkin Give- A Wey on Oct 3. All funds raised at the booth will support our sponsor, the Weymouth Heights Club, with costs of operation during the winter months (heating oil, electricity, etc).  Please let us know if you are interested and available for 4 hours (12-4) on that day to assist by emailing troop2weymouth@gmail.com. We're looking for help from ALL organizations supported by the WHC - Cubs, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts.

Cellphone Policy reminder

Troop 2 Weymouth Cell Phone Policy

It has been the stated policy of Troop 2 Weymouth for several years that cell phones are discouraged at events and meetings. Due to recent unfortunate events, this policy is now a mandatory exclusion, and is expected to be fully complied with and will be enforced.

NO CELL PHONES ARE ALLOWED TO BE BROUGHT TO ANY TROOP 2 EVENT.

If a scout brings a phone to a meeting or event, it must be placed in the box designated by the Scoutmaster.

No exceptions.

The phone will be retrieved from the box at the end of the meeting or event.

Any infraction of this policy will be handled as follows - if a scout chooses not to turn over his phone, upon the discovery of the device, the scoutmaster will confiscate the item and return it at the end of the event.  The parent will be contacted and a meeting with the parent and scout to discuss this infraction is required. A second offense may result in the scout being asked to leave the organization.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact troop2weymouth@gmail.com
