Christmas Tree Sale 2023 Update.

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.

Assisting with the Pack 23 Recruitment Drive

 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.
