Mendon-Upton school building will be closed on February 9th, so we are rescheduling the Blue and Gold to March 2nd, from 11:30 to 2:30.

More time to work on those displays!

Blue and Gold is this Saturday at 11:30

posted Feb 6, 2013, 11:30 AM by Ken Atwell

All Scouts will cross over at our annual Blue & Gold Banquet this Saturday -- Scouts should do their best to wear their uniform for this occasion.

Note the event is at Nipmuc Regional High School (90 Pleasant Street, Upton).  Also note the start time is 11:30, not 1:00 as earlier calendars reported.

We are aware of the likelihood of a severe winter storm on Friday and possibly into Saturday.  We will do our best to stay on top of the news and conditions, and update our plans accordingly.  At this time (Wednesday) we are still on for Saturday.

Scout Sunday is this weekend

posted Feb 1, 2013, 9:24 AM by Ken Atwell

Greeting fellow Scouters,
 
Scout Sunday, the first Sunday in February, is here. 
 
St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish will be holding a Scout Sunday Mass at the 8 am Mass on Sunday, February 3rd.
 
ALL scouts, male or female, regardless of denomination, are invited to attend. 
 
ALL scouts and adult leaders should wear Class A+ uniform (shirts tucked in, no hats, please!)
 
Scouts should plan on sitting with their troop, den, crew etc.  We will have several pews reserved front and center for the scouts.  Scouts may choose to sit with their families, but please note we did not reserve pews for 'families' in the front.
 
FLAGS:  Troop/crew/pack flags are welcome. BRING YOUR OWN FLAG STAND.  We will be setting up the flags to the right of the alter as you enter.
 
We are in need of scouts to bring the gifts (bread and wine) for presentation to the priest.  WE WOULD LIKE ONE YOUNGER GIRL SCOUT (Brownie or Junior) and ONE CUB SCOUT (Wolf or Bear) to perform this task, along with ONE or BOTH adult leaders.  The scouts selected for this task (and the adult leader) should be familiar with the offering of the bread and wine at mass.
 
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE A SCOUT WHO CAN BRING BREAD AND WINE TO THE ALTER.karen.ober4@gmail.com
 
It is my sincere hope that many Scouts and their families can join us in celebration of the 12th point of The Scout Law:
 
"A Scout is Reverent"
 
Please contact me with any questions or concerns,
 
Karen Ober
Charter Representative
Troop 132
Upton, MA
