MassJam 2008 Interest Survey
Troop 7 is surveying interest of our scouts in participating in Mass Jam.
MassJam 08 to be held Columbus Day weekend, 2008. at the Barnstable County Fair grounds located in Falmouth on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. At MassJam 08, Boy Scouts, Venturers and their leaders will camp together for a mini-jamboree experience. MassJam 08 promises to be a real exciting Scouting event. Many volunteers are already hard at work on innovative activities. This will be a fun weekend for everyone. Boy Scouts and Venturers of all ages will test their physical fitness and demonstrate their Scouting skills in camping, pioneering, map and compass, knots, first aid, archery, air rifle shooting, confidence course and mountain boarding. Earn your foreign language interpreter strip.
With 6000 – 9000 Boy Scouts, Venture Scouts and adults expected, this stands to be a memorable event.
For more information visit: http://www.massjam.org/ginfo.htm but do NOT register online. If there is sufficient interest, Troop 7 will be registered as a group.
Please send an email to Ernie Guy, ernie.guy@comcast.net, ASAP and indicate if you are interested in attending. We need a head count for both scouts and adult leaders.

Attention Parents & Scouts - New BSA Uniform
Boy Scout uniforms are getting a facelift in 2008 in preparation for the centennial of Boy Scouting. Available in mid-August, the new uniform boasts high-performance, multifunctional new shirts and pants that will look great at everything from ceremonies to getting out--hiking, camping, and community service.
If you are wearing out or growing out of your current uniform and looking for replacements, purchasing the new uniform after it's August 2008 release is fine but you DO NOT have to buy a new uniform just because they become available this year. The intent is to make the new uniforms available in plenty of time for the 2010 National Jamboree. Troop 7 will phase them in over time and during the transition will have scouts and adults wearing both old and new style uniforms.

Welcome to troop7.net, the website for
Troop 7 of Foxboro, Massachusetts! We invite you to look around and see what
scouting is all about, Troop 7 style. Start with the gallery to see the trips we've taken
and community service projects we've done. Browse the schedule to see what we've done and
what we're planning for the next quarter. And feel free to e-mail
us if you'd like to learn more. Troop 7
meets at the Bethany Church in Foxboro, MA on Friday nights from 7:00 to 9:00.
"Empowering boys to
be leaders is the core of Scouting. Scouts learn by doing, and what they do is
lead their patrols and their troop. The boys themselves develop a troop’s
program, then take responsibility for figuring out how they will achieve their
goals.”
Excerpted from the Scoutmaster
Handbook 1998
The goal of Troop 7 is to have fun. We
promise to try our very best to make every step of your journey organized, safe
and fun - led by boys, using the patrol method, under the advisement of adults.
Here at Troop 7 you will gain physical, mental, emotional and moral fitness, and
you will learn to live the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.
