Hello Troop 457!

As we enter the heart of the holiday season, I can't help but thinking about how Scouting is a gift that keeps on giving all year round. The adventures, friendships, and life skills that we develop in Scouting are treasures that continue to enrich our lives each month.

It is also a time to look forward to the new year; one that will be filled with exciting activities, learning opportunities, and moments of growth. So, let's journey into 2024 together with the spirit of Scouting burning brightly in our hearts. Dive into the newsletter for a glimpse of the exciting adventures that lie ahead and to stay informed about our January plans and other important news. Here's to another year of Scout spirit, growth, and camaraderie!

Yours in Scouting,

Mr. Maloney
Scoutmaster
