Welcome to Troop 437! Proudly sponsored by American Legion post 437 in Westford Massachusetts.

 

Are you an Arrow of Light scout looking for a Scout Troop to cross over to?  or maybe you are new to Scouting and want a great Troop to join?

 
Either way, Troop 437 welcomes all youth to come and experience the adventure of scouting!  Visit one of our meetings to experience what Scouting is all about and what makes Troop 437 a great Scout Troop.
 
We meet every Thursday evening when school is in session.  Meetings start at 7:00 pm at the American Legion Post 437 at 114 Dunstable Road.  Feel free to contact us at info@westfordtroop437.us and let us know you are coming or to contact us with any questions.  For more information about the troop, you can start at our About Us webpage.

Calendar Updates

Posted on Sep 25 2024 - 5:12pm

  

Due to logistical difficulties, we have made changes in the October and November trips.

October - Unfortunately we are not going to be able to make the trip to Acadia on Columbus Day weekend as planned.  Instead, we are pulling forward the High Ropes trip originally planned for the spring to the weekend of October 19th.  More details about this trip will be published soon.

November - Because the October trip is moving out one week we are also moving the November trip out one week to the weekend of November 16th.  This allows us to avoid a trip on Veterans Day weekend.  The trip theme remains a pioneering trip to Camp Resolute in Bolton.

Summer Camp Information - Three Important Tasks for this week!

Posted on Jun 12 2024 - 3:50pm

  • Summer camp is just under 2 months away and there are three tasks that everyone attending camp should do right now.
     
    #1:  If you have not already done so, turn in your medical forms.  The deadline is this Thursday, June 6th.  If you have questions or know that you are going to miss the deadline, please reach out to Barbara Evangelista as soon as possible.

    #2:  Everyone attending summer camp needs to read the Troop 437 Summer Camp Guide.  This short document contains everything you need to know about packing, equipment, arrival, and expectations about camp attendance.
     
    #3:  All Scouts need to select what merit badges and/or activities they want to participate in during the three activity periods.  See the details in the Summer Camp Activity Choices document.
     

    If you have any questions about summer camp or want to discuss your choices for activities at summer camp please reach out to a scoutmaster.


    P.S. If you are not signed up for summer camp but would like to please let me know - there is still time!
