A look at some of the fun at our Christmas Tree lot...
|
On a frosty morning, the trees arrive from the great North. Scouts swarm, and it is over all too quickly. Scouts work great as a team! It's that time of year, again! The Trees came down from Canada, and our Scouts took to that truck like champs. They didn't quite beat the old record, but unloading that many trees in 1:07 hours wasn't too shabby. It probably took longer to get the pine needles out of their hair, clothes and shoes that it did to unload and setup. Thanks to everyone who helped out! Troop 17 had a (Super) fantastic Scouting year in 2013! We started with an Eagle, and ended with Trees. In between, there was the Klondike Derby, the snowy Baseball Hall of Fame, Howe's Caverns, Mt. Cardigan, NYLT, Treasure Valley, a Scavenger Hunt in Boston, Camp Wanocksett & Lovell's Island, Summer Camp at Hidden Valley, Camp Yawgoog, OA Ordeals, a once-every-four-years MassJam, a great Project COPE trip and several parades and service projects. Below is a quick recap. Enjoy! What would the Tree Lot be without trees? Our shipment from Nova Scotia arrived early on Nov 30, and our Scouts took to the truck with gusto. They unloaded the truck in just over an hour (just shy of our all-time record of 52 minutes). Afterwards, they loaded the trees at the lot, opening half an hour early! Isn't great to see what a team can accomplish? Thanks to all the Scouts and adults who helped out! Want to see how to unload a truck in 37 second? Click below! What a time we had unloading trees! We set a new Troop 17 record of 52 minutes!!! We now all smell like balsam, and are covered in sap, but, we DID have fun! Thanks for all the help, everyone! |
