Garlic Mustard Pull 2013 – Troop Serves Community

William Tylko — Sat, 11 May 2013 20:18:10 +0000

Henry’s mom, Deborah Hulihan, organized the Garlic Mustard Pull this year. Despite the threatening weather, seven scouts showed up to weed this invasive pest, plus three adults. The scouts were Ben L, Ben P, Chris, Henry, Liam, Nate and Sam. The adults were Ian Clark, Jennie Gundy, and Lincoln’s Conservation Ranger, Jane Layton. Mike Maddox showed up at the end with pizza, and John Solman arrived in time to eat with us.

This year we covered the trails and woods behind Blue Heron Farm, a fairly extensive patch. There was a bit of PI to be avoided, as well as ticks, but being scouts we came prepared. Happily, the rain held off for the three hours we worked.

We camped overnight at Camp Sayer in Milton.We worked on camping related advancements. We took a 5 mile hike to the observation station at the top of the Blue Hills. We had fun.

Klondike Derby 2013

On this camping trip we did not have to bring any ice. Forty-two patrols competed. Troop 127 had the smallest patrol of all with 3 members: Thom, the patrol leader, Tim and Jack. They could have won for best team spirit if there was a competition for that category! The Cheetah patrol did, however, win first place for the best patrol flag!

There was no shortage of food. The menu featured eggs, pancakes, toast, hot chocolate, Chinese noodles, hot dogs, sausages, rice, beans, hot sauce and of course Ian’s hot chocolate. No one went hungry! We learned fire building, patrol cooking, cold weather survival and knots.
