Troop 13 Jammed Packed

This past April, Boy Scout Troop 13 Rehoboth went on their annual 22-mile bike trip in Myles Standish State Forest in South Carver, MA and camped at Squanto Scout Reservation not far from Cachalot Scout Reservation. The trip was fun as usual as we bike on the paths throughout the State Forest. According to First Class Scout Jack Silva, "We left [camp] with 14 and came back with 10." Now don't you worry, we didn't lose anyone but only 4 broken bikes that didn't want to go after a while like shifted wheels and chain problems. This was also the first camp out with the 7 new scouts that joined the troop. They learned how the troop camps and what we do on campouts. From what i have learned, the scouts had a wonderful time!

The Boy Scouts also went on another camp out last month in May where the camped out Camp Buxton located right in Rehoboth on Pond St. The boys this month cleaned up a part around the Palmer River in camp and then drove up to Oak Knoll Cemetery located on Rt.118/Tremont St. across from Bliss Soccer Fields. The boys replaced all of the flags of Korean, Vietnam, and World War veterans who served our country when we needed it most with the old dirty and deteriorating flags that were put out last year by Troop 13 were replaced by nice new flags. This is a yearly thing that the troop does to bring some happiness into the world.

Troop 13 would also like to thank all of the people that came out on April 28th to support the troop with the Spaghetti dinner. Thanks to all of the people that came out to eat dinner and for the many raffle items we had, we earned a total of $1,507 to spend on new tents, lanterns and stoves (all which are broken or ripped and need to be replaced..) We thank also the parents that came out to help with the event. They along with the Boy Scouts took 6 hours out of there Friday afternoon to help. Thank you very much.

If you happened to see the past reporter on the front page, Future Eagle Scout Dan Furze (A.K.A Eye of the Tiger) finished his Eagle Project by putting back the cannon in front of the American Legion at the corner of Rt. 118 and Bay State Road. Congrats to Dan and his family!
