The September Troop trip will be a canoe trip on the Ipswich River. After the canoeing on Saturday, the Troop will proceed to the Cape Ann Campgrounds on the coast for the overnight. If conditions allow, the scouts will have a chance to explore the coast on Sunday morning.

Details are in the attached PDF.  Sign-ups are now open.  Use the button below to sign up.

Sign-ups are due by the end of the day on Sunday, September 3rd.

If your Scout is planning on attending Camp Wanocksett this summer, please turn in the completed BSA medical form to Barbara Evangelista by June 8. 

The March trip for Troop 437 is to New York City.  We will spend a full day in the city exploring, seeing the sights, and visiting some really cool attractions.

Sign-up deadline: Sunday, February 26th

This is a hard deadline as we will be purchasing the group tickets for attractions the following day

Sign up early! We have reserved cabin space for 20 scouts. If we have more than 20 sign-ups we will try to get additional cabin space but it isn’t guaranteed we will be able to accommodate more.

We will be staying in cabins at BSA Camp Alpine in Alpine, New Jersey, Friday and Saturday nights.  On Saturday morning, we will be taking a bus to Staten Island and taking the Staten Island Ferry to Battery Park from which we will start our day-long tour of the Big Apple. The itinerary is to get to as many of the places and events that the scouts have selected as possible. We will be traveling together and will stop as a group for both lunch and dinner. The scouts will be responsible for the cost of their lunch which will likely be at a New York Pizza place. Dinner will likely be a sit-down dinner and the cost is factored into the trip cost. It is recommended that each scout bring a small sling bag to the city to carry things they may purchase, additional clothing, etc., as the weather can be wide-ranging. We will be doing a lot of walking so make sure you have good shoes, water, and a few snacks to keep your energy up. Do not bring any knives.
