On January 2, 2016 at 5:00 PM, we’re going to kick off Pennacook Lodge right with the Inaugural Family Banquet and Theme Show. During this event, members of the newly formed Pennacook Lodge will gather at the Boston Burlington Marriott Hotel for an evening of delicious food, fun, and entertainment; and you’re invited!

The program for the event will feature a social gathering, gourmet meal, a critically acclaimed theme show production, awards recognition, and inspirational keynote speeches. This night will mark the first event of Pennacook as a lodge and we want you to be part of it. All guests will receive a free pair of exclusive Pennacook Lodge sunglasses and will have the opportunity to purchase all lodge merchandise: extra lodge flaps, sweatshirts, and t-shirts. As members of the local scouting community, this event is an excellent opportunity to connect with scouters around the Spirit of Adventure Council and to meet the current youth leaders of the new lodge. All Arrowmen and non-Arrowmen are invited to attend. The lodge kindly asks that all pre-register online; you can save $10 if you sign up before December 25th!

Once again, Temple Emanu-El in Haverhill, Massachusetts has offered to host Scout Shabbat on Friday, February 5th, 2016. 

Scout Shabbat offers an opportunity for Scouts to show their duty to God, an integral part of the Scout Oath/Promise, and allows worshipers to honor Scouts and Scout Leaders in the community for their achievements and service.  This is done as part of the standard Jewish Friday Night Service. 

Last year, over 100 Scouts from the area participated in this event and I ask for your assistance in spreading the word. The event is open to all Scouts and their families, regardless of religious affiliation. 

For more information on Scout Shabbat, please visit the National  Jewish Committee on Scouting's web site HERE 

There is no charge for this event and all Scouts who attend in uniform will receive a commemorative patch. 

           Yours in Scouting,
