NEW Troop 19 Fleece Jacket Logo

Just in time for the Holidays!   The scouts voted on a new troop logo for a fleece jacket last Tuesday night.  This is optional wear for Scouts, Leaders and family members.  The cost is $28.00.  Orders will be taken on Tuesday night (non-refundable deposit or transfer from Scout Account).  Please see Jane Richardson to place an order.  We plan to have the jackets for our Holiday Party on December 22^nd. 

The jacket is a full zippered fleece in Forest Green. Underneath the logo, the lettering will be in two rows:  Troop 19 / Nashua, NH.  Attached is a URL for the jacket.

Wreath Sales and Assembly Day

I also want to convey my appreciation to our Scouts, Leaders and Parents that have helped the troop with the Wreath Sales this year.  Last Friday’s assembly day was well organized and a team effort.  We finished the earliest in the 15+ years that we have been selling wreaths.  We are close to reaching our wreath goal with about 125 wreaths to sell.  A significant number of our Scouts have gone beyond the minimum goal of 20 wreaths and they will be recognized for their efforts at our Holiday Party.  Pictures from Wreath Assembly are at www.troop19.org
