Seekonk Scouts Troop 1 and Troop 9 Fall Activities

Seekonk Scouts Troop 1 and Troop 9 stay active throughout the Fall season. Seekonk Scouts Troop 1 and Troop 9, along with Cub Scouts Pack 88, conducted their annual food drive for Seekonk's Doorways Food Pantry. The Scouts started by going door to door throughout Seekonk, delivering flyers encouraging Seekonk residents to donate non-perishable food items. The following weekend, Scouts spent several hours collecting food donations and organizing the donated items for Doorways. The Scouts collected 10,000 pounds of food items from Seekonk residents.

Troop 1 and Troop 9 participated in the first-ever Turtle Trek Camporee, organized by Tulpe Lodge at Camp Norse in Kingston, MA. Turtle Trek included a weekend of camping, sports competitions, a chopped cooking challenge, and other activities, including an escape room. Seekonk Scouts' entry for the chopped cooking challenge was delicious pulled pork nachos with roasted pineapple salsa topped with sriracha.

The Scouts transformed into pirates for the annual Trunk or Treat Event at Seekonk High School. Throughout the Fall, the Scouts have been preparing for their upcoming cold-weather camping trip and working towards earning fitness, personal finance, and communications merit badges.
