On December 7th, the Troop gave out popcorn and collected donations for the Sutton Food Pantry. The troop raised a total of $250 dollars, which was converted into gift cards for Sketchers, and CVS, and were given to elderly citizens. The night before, the Troop cleaned up the basement so it would be ready for the event.
Amsden Klinghard's Eagle project won the Heart of New England Council Eagle Project Of The Year. There were many Eagle projects done by Scouts of the Heart Of New England council throughout the year. Amsden won this award because his project stood out against all of the other projects. His project was a 5K race at Shaw Farm. Instead of paying to enter the race, participants donated a few products that would benefit a veteran's shelter in Worcester, and raising over 2000 items!
Late in the month, the Troop held their holiday party at Launch. Launch is a trampoline park that also has an arcade, a virtual reality room, and a bowling alley. After all of our time was up, we went into our party room, ate pizza, and did our annual gift exchange.
(I got some super cool electric hand warmers)
Eagle
Maine High Adventure because I got to spend time with all my scouting friends, and it was a great way to wrap up my scouting career.

The more involved in scouting you are, the more opportunities you'll be given.
The most challenging thing I've overcome was leadership differences with my Senior Patrol Leader during my 3rd year in scouting.
