Spring Trip Notice

Here is a recap of the info for the Spring Trip to Boston for those who are going:

We will be leaving from Myles School at 12:30 Friday May 24.  We plan on making at least one stop at the first rest area on the MassPike. We are staying at Camp Sayre in Milton, ( about 7 miles from downtown Boston).  We have reserved 2 cabins with bunks and mattresses, so you only need a light sleeping bag.  The camp has showers which are open 24/7 in the Eggan Center,( about a 10 min. walk from our cabins).  There is also a pool and full Scout Shop in the Eggan Center.  There is a possibility that we could get some pool time.

Saturday we will be walking the Freedom Trail, visiting most of the famous landmarks in Boston.  Sunday we will be going to the Aquarium and then the Science Center.  Each day we will be riding the “T” into downtown.  On Monday we will be stopping at the Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge.  We should be home by dinner time.

We have six drivers with 4 /vehicle.  Do not over pack!  You should bring a light sleeping bag, bathing suit, towel, toiletries, change of underwear and socks, class B shirts, light jacket hat.  You must travel in Class A shirt to be covered under the BSA travel policy!  You will be wearing your Class A while in Boston.

Ben will hand out a copy of cell phone numbers.  Scouts will be assigned to groups with adults.  There are 13 scout and 11 or 12 adults.  The troop will supply a continental breakfast each morning and dinner Sat and Sun.  Scouts will be responsible for buying their own lunch both Sat. and Sun.

Scouts should eat before leaving on Friday and bring a ‘bag lunch’ for dinner on Friday.  Spending $$ is up to you, but please make sure your son has enough for the two lunches in town.  All prescription meds. need to be handed to Mr Wilbur when arriving at the school.
