» Troop 119 Earns 2009 Centennial Unit Award

Troop 119 has earned the Centennial Quality Unit award for 2009. In order to earn the award, the unit must have trained leaders, a record of growth, a solid record of advancement for the boys, and an active camping program. Give yourselves all a pat on the back for a job well done!

» BSA Scout Shop

The closest Scout Shop to Lexington is at 400 Washington Street, Woburn. It is in Cummings Park across from Staples. Take 128 North to Washington St. exit, turn right onto Washington St, and right again into Cummings Park across from Staples. #400 is at the end of the first building on the right.

The hours for the store are M-F 9:30 AM – 6:00 PM and 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturdays. The store is closed on Sundays.

Get Ready!

Get ready for another exciting year in Scouts. Our first meeting is on Thursday, September 2 at 7:30pm. There will be a PLC beforehand, starting at 6:30pm.

Scouts should bring their handbook to the meeting, so that they can get all the advancement they did at camp signed off.

Check out the pictures from Summer Camp on the Photos page. There seem to be more every day.

See you on September 2nd!

Troop 119 is heading for the hills!

As the summer break comes to a close, get back on track with mountain biking and an overnight at Camp Sayre. This will be a great way to ease back into our new Scout Season. We will be transporting our bikes to Camp Sayre.

Please turn in your permission slip by Thursday, September 2. Contact Sherman Chan if you have any questions at 781-863-2989.

WELCOME TO TROOP 119!

What is your favorite place to see the sunset?

Have you ever canoed 9 miles to your campsite?

Have you ever watched a meteor shower from the top of a mountain?

Have you ever slept in a shelter you built by yourself?

Scouting is about building character, developing personal fitness, and learning leadership and citizenship. These goals are achieved in the outdoors. Hiking, camping, swimming, canoeing, climbing, high-adventure challenges, and fun, even in the winter, are all part of the program.

We want to get you out into the outdoors and experience life.

So, what did you do this weekend???

Scouting is....

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Are You a Troop 119 Eagle?
We are trying to reconstruct some of the history of Troop 119, which goes back to the late 1930's. If you earned your Eagle while registered to Troop 119 (or Troop 19 as it was known in the early days), we'd love to hear from you. Contact Mrs. Shevrin (gshevrin at gmail dot com)
