Hello! Lincoln Cub Scouts took a two-year hiatus during the pandemic, and inquiries into the program couldn't be more timely. Many of the cubs that were active pre-pandemic have now aged into Boy Scouts. Right now, I'm looking to get a sense of interest in restarting a Cub Scout program in town, geared to boys in grades one to five. If you have a son(s) eager to participate, please be in touch with me at the email below. As far as Boy Scouts for older kids (grade 6 and up), we have an active troop that meets at the town's Mason's Lodge on Thursday evenings from 7-8pm, beginning on September 15th. In addition to regular meetings for those interested in working on merit badges toward Eagle Scout rank, our troop engages in adventures like hiking, canoeing, camping, and white-water rafting. Please be in touch with me at the email below with any other questions related to Lincoln Scouting.
