For the first time since 2019, the tree shed was put up for our Christmas Tree Sale. For many of our Scouts and parents, this was the first time they experienced the shed raising.
Here we see the movement of the parts from the storage shed to the parking lot.
Update for Sunday, Dec. 10th

It was a beautiful November day -- a perfect day -- for a hike on the Billy Goat Trail. Here are some photos...
A couple of our Scouts attended Scout Day at the National Medical Museum in Silver Spring MD. They not only had a great time but learned quite a bit.
Well, it seems that at the last meeting, the Scouts decided to play cricket.
I can say that this is the first time in my almost 20 years with the troop that the Scouts played cricket.
Scout Troop 466 will once again sell trees this December in the Church parking lot. After vendor issues, the pandemic, and fewer growers, we were able to find a new supplier.
This year, we will be selling a hybrid Fraser/Balsam tree. This will be a new product for us and we believe that this will be a wonderful addition to your Christmas tradition.
The bulk of the trees will be in the 6' to 7' range. However, we will have a smaller number in the 5' to 6' and 7' to 8' range.
Our plan is to open up sales on Saturday, December 2nd.
For the exact sale schedule, please look for a future announcement in the bulletin and here.
At our opening meeting, we were visited by Cheryl Beauregard, President of the Thomas Stone Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).
Troop 466 assisted with the Pack 23 Recruitment Drive on Saturday, Sept. 9th from 1pm to 4:3pm. St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church is located in downtown Silver Spring, MD.
The troop display consisted of tents, a campfire and a cooking station. Blueberry cobbler was on he menu. Approximately 60 children and 20 adults turned out for the event. In addition, two other troops participated in the event.
Note that we completed an Eagle Scout project a few years ago there, and as you can see in the first photo, it is still there.
Thank you to all the Scouts and the Leaders who participated.
On Sunday, July 9th Scouts and Scouters from Troop 466 headed down to Goshen Scout Camp. Here are a few photos before they left. (Apologies, but I know I missed a couple of Scouts and leaders but I had to leave and took whatever photos I could.)
On Monday, June 26th, the final meeting/Court of Honor was held. We had a nice turnout, but because schools had been out for over a week, many were already on vacation.
Although a great deal of work was completed on Day One, there was still more work to be completed. So on the second day, the two main backdrops were painted and the movable door was put together.
