Seekonk Scouts March Activities

Seekonk scouts continue to be active, with a busy March schedule filled with fun. The scouts started March off with snow tubing at Nashoba Valley Tubing Park in Littleton, MA. They spent a few hours enjoying the winter weather and delighting in the snow.

The scouts continued the March activities with a three-night weekend cabin camping trip. During the camping trip, scouts learned the basics of backpacking in preparation for an upcoming April backpacking trip. Scouts learned about essential backpacking equipment and supplies, how to efficiently pack a backpack, how to properly carry a backpack, and the importance of appropriate footwear and attire.

In addition to the weekend activities, Seekonk scouts held their weekly meetings. During the meetings, scouts learned basic skills necessary for all scouts, handed out positions of responsibility, and continued to plan for upcoming trips and fundraisers. Positions of responsibility are leadership roles within scouting. Some positions of responsibility include assignments such as Patrol Leader, Scribe, Historian, and Quartermaster. Positions of responsibility are periodically rotated, allowing scouts to learn new skills and interests.

In addition to planning for upcoming trips and fundraisers, scouts began discussing and planning a High Adventure trip for 2026. Scouting High Adventure is a specialized seasonal program that can include backpacking, camping activities, and ocean adventures, among many other opportunities.

Seekonk Scouts have tentatively planned fundraising car washes for April 19, May 10, and June 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at First Home Mortgage on Central Avenue, Seekonk.
