It is time to start making preparations for the trip to SeaBase this summer on July 20-26!

Our first organizational meeting for scouts and parents will be held on Friday, February 17 at 7:00 pm at 105 Trapelo Road. We will review the trip, the necessary documents and training that must be completed ahead of time, pass out forms and checklists, and answer questions.

An adult leader is needed for the 2012 effort.  If desired, a splendid martial uniform will be provided by the troop.  This is an easy and finite commitment: two short meetings and one morning outing in May.  Please see Walter for details.
