Troop 28

An unnamed model wearing size XS. To be fair, the S is nearly the same size.

Troop 28 will be placing orders for fleeces shortly.  The cost is $40 and they come in Men’s XS – XL.  I will be at the locker at 6:45 before the MONDAY June 6th meeting with samples in case people need to try on for sizes.   Please reply by email to place your order or see me on Monday.   The deadline for orders will be Thursday June 9th. 

In addition, I have some extra Class B t-shirts in Youth Medium (1), Youth Large (3) and Mens Small (1) for $10 if anyone needs another.  I will have these with me on the 6th as well. 

Thank you,
Kate Richardsson

Each year every member of Troop 28 needs to have a swim test regardless of swimming ability–this is required for attending summer camp, and needed for any water activities, such as the canoe trips, whitewater rafting trips, etc.  We presently have two dates set up for swim tests– Tuesday, June 7th, starting at 2:30PM, and Wednesday, June 8th, starting at 3:30PM, both at the Rosens’ pool.  We will have a certified BSA lifeguard to administer the swim tests.  

 The actual swim test only takes a few minutes–each scout swims a few laps and treads water for a minute.  Please email Margie Hillman to let her know which day your scout will be coming or have them sign up at tomorrow night’s meeting.

The project consumed over 50 man-hours and included other small improvements to the sculpture garden, such as the installation of a hose and clearing around the dumpster to make room for the new encasement. Butler completed the project in March.

The three-sided structure took three weekends to put up.  The pieces were assembled at Butler’s home and then transported to the site. Butler funded the project through donations, including some from Hingham Lumber, which provided wood and supplies at a discount.
