Scouts BSA Troop 126, Franklin, Massachusetts

On Saturday, several members of Scout Troop 126 attended the town’s annual community event, which honored local traditions and paid tribute to our veterans. The day began with a parade down Main Street, where community members lined the sidewalks to cheer on a procession of local organizations, decorated vehicles, and school marching bands. Flags were proudly displayed, and the spirit of unity was strong as participants made their way toward the town square. A flag-hoisting ceremony was held at the town hall after the parade. Attendees stood in silence as the American flag was raised. It was a powerful moment that brought everyone together in reflection and respect. The day concluded with a ceremony honoring veterans. One by one, the names of those who served—past and present—were read aloud… It was a meaningful and respectful event, and the few Troop 126 members who attended were honored to witness it. Events like this remind us all of the importance of community, remembrance, and gratitude.

On April 23rd and 25th, the troop went out and cleaned up Franklin for Earth day. In order to maintain social distancing. there were multiple sites to go clean up, and all of them were eventually cleaned of trash. This was a good way to give back to our community, while staying safe at the same time.

On January 24, the troop arrived at Camp Resolute for the Freeze-out, previously known as the Klondike Derby. We participated in really fun events, like sled racing. Even though it was extremely cold, the competition and games made it all worthwhile. Like always, the trip was a blast and everyone had a lot of fun.
